Why Is It ...

… that you need to know if you block me on social media you’d best be blocking my friends, too, because they’re sending me screenshots.

… that I often want to stop a conversation mid-sentence and say, “Hey, I don’t care.”

… that you don’t realize there is no point in arguing with me. I realized I was wrong about 15 minutes ago and now I’m just trying to make you mad.

… that apparently saying “the vibes are off” is not an excuse to leave work early.

… that I stop myself from making sarcastic comments at least forty times a day and I am never given credit for it.

… that you need to remember to chill before my Inner Voice becomes my Outer Voice.

… that I would rather walk barefoot across a carpet of Legos than share a fun fact about myself with a group of strangers.

… that whenever I agree with someone it’s usually so they’ll stop talking.

… that when my boss and I argue and he says, ‘I didn’t ask for an attitude,’ I reply, ‘No worries. It’s complimentary.’

… that I have to apologize if I acted insane, but in my defense, I’m insane.

  3. Here's a fun fact I use - I hate stupid people. That usually kills the vibe. :p

  4. "It's complimentary..." LOL. Oh, how I wish I'd had that one in my back pocket when I was employed.

    🤣 Ha! I was gonna argue with the 3rd one...don't keep arguing; agreement is more stunning! And then, YES! You said agree so they'll stop talking! You stunned me and I stopped! Took me a moment 'til I got started again! 🤪

  7. The vibes were off. That’s why I no longer work. I don’t care.

    1. It doesn't look good on a resume for why you left your last employer ...

  8. See, now I willingly will share fun facts about myself with a group of strangers. Of course, they would then want to walk barefoot across a bed of Legos, maybe with a little broken glass for extra relief. Win-win.

    1. It's a dangerous world with the Legos.

  9. The line about walking barefoot across Legos should be in your back pocket for any time you find yourself in a group situation where this "icebreaker exercise" is used. It is responsive to the request, but just not in the way anticipated,
