Programmed reactions
I was leaving work yesterday and one of my coworkers said “Have a happy holiday” as I was walking out of the breakroom with my cup of “get home without falling asleep during the commute and dying” coffee. I replied with simply “No”. you could watch his brain slam immediately to a stop. After a few moments, he said “Wow, never heard anyone respond with that before. Wasn’t expecting that. Fine then, I hope you have a really crappy holiday”.
I like screwing with programmed reactions sometimes. The guy is a joker and we mess with eachother all the time. Normally I wouldn’t mess with random people who are just wishing me well (even if it is programmed wellwishing).

The programmed behavior has me to an annoying extent. I am so sick of responding to ‘how’s it going?’ questions with some variation of ‘good’ when, in fact, I am not so good. Damn it all! :O
It’s great when I answer someone’s generic question with the wrong generic answer. Of course I’m not sure if they notice since it is just mindless droning from both parties anyway.
Forcing people to break the brains autopilot rules.
“How are you?” reply “Like you really give a shit.” or “Obviously better than you.”
But I’m a dick.
