Reminds me of when I was in school, kids would often ask teachers "Can I go to the bathroom?" and the answer was almost always "Yes". This one teacher, though, always had some other creative response instead of just "Yes". He would say something like:
They would be increasingly creative ways of simply confirming "Yes, you may use the bathroom". And if you would ask why the teacher said something weird instead of just saying "Yes", he would say that gets boring. Instead of repeating the same simple phrase day after day, he came up with a way to actually get a little enjoyment out of the interaction by peppering in a little creative variation.
I find that similar to the creative dismissal of sports topics. After countless times when people try discussing sports with me, it gets boring to simply say the same pnrase "I'm not interested in sports" over and over. So, to get a little enjoyment out of life, I try to come up with some little variations to shake up the interaction.
Sure and I would get that. Except then you went and made a meme about it. Which is kind of different isn't it? That's not responding to a person at the water cooler.
Did you see the title? I made this GIF so I can send it as a response to "virtual watercooler" conversations at work. And I know other people here also have those same interactions at work and also want some variation, so I am sharing this file so other people have it ready to use when needed.
Yes. You took the time to make a gif. You care so little I can see that now...
