You know those people who say, "Hello, hi?" instead of, "Excuse me?"? I don't know why, but I find them so confusing! Its hard to tell whether or not they're talking to me or saying hi to their friend.
 Like today, I was eating out for dinner with my mom and I left my take out on the table and the guy kept saying, "Hello? Hi?". So I figured he was talking to a customer...turns out it was me. Has this ever happened to you guys or do you guys do this?

Oh, you mean when people go "Hell-o?!" in that extra pissy tone? Gahd it pisses me off. As if they're so dominant and all that. I used to say that more but not really anymore.
Some people just don't know their way with words, I guess. |

With the whole "Hello, hi?" thing, I don't think that's ever really happened to me. Well, not to the point where I'm confused about what that saying refers to.
But the whole "Hell-o?!" thing that Michelle just mentioned, ugh, I hate that too.

Exactly. Hasn't happened to me much though I have to say...half the time at work though I get... "Umm...erm...excuse me. Do you work here?" Isn't it obvious when all the workers wear blazers and I'm standing there folding underwear? Seriously. |

It doesn't really bother me. It's more awkward for them than me, so I don't bother with it.
And I used to get that too Steph when I worked at Forever 21. I was like, "No. I choose to wear this hideously yellow tag for kicks."
