"Every time we have an encounter, you must lick my ass"

Why is it that people greet you in passing with a question ('Hey, what's up?!' or 'How's it goin?!') with no intention of actually waiting for or hearing your response? By the time you respond with 'Oh, pretty good, and you?', they're already 15 feet down the hallway headed in the opposite direction. Hey fuckhead, why did you ask if you didn't wanna know?! Of course, then there are others who don't care to hear your small talk greeting. I got a lot of this when I worked the front line as a Patient Care Rep.
Me - 'Good afternoon!'
Patient - 'Johnson'
How rude are you that you can't even acknowledge my friendly greeting? A simple hello would do fine. I didn't ask for your name or medical number, asshole. I was trying to be civil. Perhaps YOU should try that sometime.

Ever notice how people can't respect or appreciate something that you do or have done, simply because they have never experienced it? I learned that a long time ago, not to knock something until you've tried it. Who are you to say that golf isn't a sport just because you think it's a stupid game? Granted, it may not be an exciting, suspenseful game, but my bet is that you've never swung a pitching wedge 20 yards from a green and gotten excited when your ball bounced and rolled within 5 feet of the pin.
I got this first hand in high school when I ran on the cross country team. Cross Country is a sport that doesn't get much recognition, or publicity for that matter. Realistically, I can see how you would not define this as a 'spectator sport'. I mean, who wants to watch a group of people race in a 3 mile run over pavement, dirt, grass, gravel, or where ever the course may lead? I'll tell you what, though. We trained harder than our wrestling team, and our sport only requires running.

Don't knock it till you've tried it, biatch!
