"How're you doing?"

gmku · 12.05.2007, 08:05 AM

"Living the dream," is sometimes my smart-ass response.

Or, "Another sunny day in hell."

What are some other quips I can use in casual reply to this question posed to me almost daily by everyone from mail room clerks to the next-door neighbor?

Can't be too outlandish or esoteric or obscene for general use, you understand. Something that sounds sort of "every man" but that's also a bit creative or interesting.

I am doing fine, and quite dandy, 'bout yourself?

"Average."

It depends :
- if the person asking the question actually means "how are you doing" , there's no problem answering.
- if it's a formal question , which means anything but "how are you doing" , you can answer:
I hate myself and I wanna die/what do you care?

"gassy from eggs"

Phlegmscope · 12.05.2007, 01:49 PM

In real life I usual just respond "hmff"

Rob Instigator · 12.05.2007, 01:54 PM

Good one.

There's no worse fart than an egg fart. Unless it's a beer fart.

If I know them fairly well I usually just say "Yeah, well, you know." It lets them make their own conclusions.

What's wrong with a simple "I'm fine"?
