I'm so sick of questions that are different questions, or aren't questions at all.

My main example usually is people saying "how are you," or "how's it going," as a greeting. People will say this in the hallway and it's like, I can't answer you. Well, jokes on me; apparently I'm not supposed to answer you.

Today I was called down to the the school therapist's office (idk why, I was just told she wanted to see me) and so I went to student services. I didn't talk to the receptionist because I've been there many times and I know what to do.

I began checking in on the tablet they keep on the counter, and the receptionist asked "can I help you?" And I said no. Because I don't need help. She asked again, I assumed she didn't hear me (she may not have, I was speaking quietly) and I said No again.

She got mad at me because apparently "Can I help you?" means "Why are you signing in?" Babe, what? How do those two things equal each other.

On top of that, she didn't just get upset at my response, she said I didn't answer. Bitch, huh?? I answered the question you asked. Just because it wasn't an answer thay correlates with your secret hidden message doesn't mean you can say I Didn't Answer!

If someone says "How's it going?" And I answer "Terrible, I'm tired and don't want to be here," you can't get fucking mad at me for not answering with "Hey, how're you."
