| I have a co-worker who every Monday inquires how my weekend was and what it is I did. On the one hand I appreciate the interest, but on the other it's sort of an annoying question - especially if you didn't do anything in particular - but you try to dress it up so that your answer won't make you sound like the dullest person on earth.
Does this question bother anyone else? | |

| It can be annoying, but I usually just answer "it was okay". I don't get into details unless I'm in the mood. And on Mondays, that's a RARITY. | |

Does this question bother anyone else? I don't like that question in person either, Jason. My replies are usually pretty boring. It reminds me of the fact my step daughter's aunt always gives me the third degree about what vacations I have taken since I saw her last. She travel extensively so I don't know if she is trying to "one up" me or is genuinely curious. I think it's the former. | |

| Its ok... but i think some people are more interested in tellin u what they did, so they ask u first.
this weekend a pipe broke in my bathroom and clean up was a pain... atleast i rent, so no bill.
Red--- I have a friend thatdoes this too... "i have traveled to every continent, and visited 23 countries. But of course, not everyone can do that" The best part of this is that we make the same amount of money in the same job, neither are married, and neither of us have kids. SOOOO the point is, IF i WANTED to do that i could... but I would rather buy my dream car than spend $20k a year on vacations. She pulled that crap with my brother and he said, "yeah you went to india and africa, and i built an addition onto my house. You spent a lot of money for memories and have nothing tangible to show for it--- i increased the value of my home and have 3 new rooms to spread out in!"
People's priorities are different... doesnt mean they are wrong... but people dont realize that what is important to you, isnt necessarily the same that they care about. | |

Does this question bother anyone else? I agree Jason it is rather annoying and I have a co-worker that asks the same question as well but now I have decided to say anything in the world that I want to him because he is just plain nosey and annoying. | |
