In inpatient psychiatry I tell my coworkers “I hope your shift is mind-numbingly boring” or something similar (keyword being boring) because in my line of work, interesting (usually) = bad.

What’re yours?

    Instead of saying “bless you” when someone sneezes, I quite like the alternative: “shut the fuck up”.

      Ever since middle school, my “bless you” interaction has always been:

      • “Bless you.”
      • Them: “Thank you.”
      • “You’re welcome.”

      And whenever I sneeze, it’s “bless me, thank me, I’m welcome.”

      Thank you for attending my TEDtalk.

          No, I mean I say the entire thing to myself. “Bless me, thank me, I’m welcome.”

          Middle school me started doing it and I’ve put in no effort to stop.

        If I sneeze and somebody says “bless you”, my response is “No, but thanks for the offer”.
