That's nothing, Sharonna! How about when they parrot back to you something that you have recently explained to them and act as if it was their own thought?
Depends. Sometimes people overlook the obvious while trying find more complicated solution or explanation. However, once I walked outside with someone and everything was wet. There were puddles in the parking and they said, "Hey, it rained!" I just said, "How can you tell?"
Well, It is safe. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard you state the obvious. You take the obvious and normally put a spin on it and make it hilarious!! :) :)
It was the annoyance part that wasn't obvious to me. I wondered if I was the only one biting my tongue when someone says 'been to the store?' as I walk in loaded with shopping bags.
That's like the knuckleheads at work who see me there burning the midnight oil after a long shift (or two) and ask me, "You're still here?" I always reply, "Nope."
Oh! That kind of quip irritates the crap out of me! Those are people with a limited sense of humor and imagination. I usually hit them over the head with a frying pan in an attempt to rescramble their brains. Never works for some reason.
I hear ya' on that one too JaneS. Obviously you were coming back from a ski trip. ;) :) No, in all sincerity, sometimes, like being on the bus where you are going to be in a stranger's space for a little bit, it is easier if you state something obvious so there isn't that uncomfortable silence. I am notorious for doing the annoyingly safe bet with the weather. "Can you believe it's snowing?" Anything you both are experiencing at that moment is obvious. I really go out on a limb with, "Can you believe it rained yesterday?" I must be really annoying to ride the bus with. I'm going to take note and try not to do that anymore. I thought it made people a little more comfortable. Apparently I was terribly wrong. Good to know though! So, thanks for asking! You learn something new every day! :) :)
