| Topic: How Do You Respond If......? | |

So, on Sunday (Valentines) I was naked in front of about 9 people (emergency kidney stone surgery, operating room) I was all over groggy when they wheeled me in, apparently I had a statement to make, they tell me afterwards hahaha and here is what they said I said, which sounds just like me so I believed them: "Okay people listen up..there is going to be some nudity here..save yourselves..things once seen, cannot be unseen" and I passed out. On the last such surgery almost 4 years ago, they told me afterwards I said this on coming out of screaming pain: "You calmed down, we finally stepped away from holding onto you, you cracked open one eye and said, "I think I just saw Jimmy Hoffa." Point is (apparently) I always find something to say even in awkward situations :-) I'm torn between laughing at what you said and feeling sympathy for your discomfort . I think I will do both.  @ what you said.
Hope you recover soon Soufie @ your recuperation process 
Thank you :-) Didn't mean to chat about it all but seemed appropriate to the topic. Have another surgery scheduled for Friday, fingers crossed :-) Good luck on your surgery soufie

2 awkward situations come to my mind. How do you respond if .. 1. someone says they love you and you don't feel the same? 2. If the first line someone greets you with after they haven't seen you in ages is... "Oh my! You sure have gained a lot of weight!" Response to #1:"I'm sorry, but I just had a glimpse into the future and the world is about to end. So, I am about to embark on a bank robbing spree and I am afraid me and my talking pet dog simply don't need a third (He is so good at crowd control). If the world wasn't ending I would so date you". Response to #2: "I have had a glimpse into the future and in four months I'll have six pack abs, while you will gain the weight I lost, lose your hot wife (to me of course) and you will eat yourself to death. Sorry to spoil it for you, but you were the meanie first". |

The really sad thing is "Goof" you could say all of this and get laughter as you did it. Me if I said all of this I would be run out of town on a rail...
And I am so glad of it.. I love your humour and you know it.. |

Thinking crap do they love me as a friend or family or boyfriend? I need to talk to my mates. 2. If the first line someone greets you with after they haven't seen you in ages is... "Oh my! You sure have gained a lot of weight!" Thank you for noticing, have you looked in the mirror because honey I noticed your booty looks mighty humongous too but hey at least we are happy aye? Always said with the right attitude. |

If the first line someone greets you with after they haven't seen you in ages is... "Oh my! You sure have gained a lot of weight!" Please add in the third situation I don't know how to quote both. Like many I suppose the prefect come back comes to mind several days later. I usually stumble through such situations best I can. I finally got tired of it; especially a stressed out single Mom, and took a class about dealing with difficult people. The big take away was when someone ask a rude question they are being aggressive and you always have the option to be selectively deaf or/and just flip it on them by asking "You needed to say this because?" If they explain it in a legit way I may answer or not. Usually the aggressive (often insecure) person gets lost in their own agenda and I can ignore them or at least not take it so personally. If it is clear I am being attacked I give them a dirty look and ignore them or just put up the hand and say excuse me I don't need to hear your stuff today and move on. I have found editing toxic people makes my life sooooo much better. The "I love you" remark is a little different in that it is not uncommon for someone to say it to me before I actually feel it or want to express it. I also get it is suppose to have some kind of "magical" power on others to be told it that does not work on me. Actions always speak louder than words. I often think it is pillow talk and meaningless. Sometimes I will play it off with "I love ice cream but I don't want any now." The implication kind of says it all. If it is someone I do at least care about I tell them Thank you and I am still thinking about/developing my feelings. If I know then and there it is not going to happen I try to be honest enough to say it is just not in the cards for me to say that to you. I don't see playing with someone's feelings even if those feelings catch me off guard. The whole married by a certain age stigma is such a drag. I often play it off with if you find me a suitable rich husband you can afford to plan/pay for the wedding, three years from now, I want it at a Hilton. most of the time it is just being jealous that you are happy and doing well as a single they have nothing in common with. If they are really just being nasty which I see this kind of remark I tell them "No thanks I don't need to be as miserable as I have seen you be." |

I love what you brought to the table :) The idea of throwing people offguard with the marriage thing by putting things in their court.... joking that you have given them the charge of finding your elusive soulmate as well as paying for your expensive wedding. ITS GENIUS!!!! I wonder if anyone in the forum can top that response?

So we all have had those moments when we were placed in awkward situations, and we were forced to make quick judgment calls. Ofcourse we do the best we can under the circumstances , but sometimes in retrospect, we wanna kick ourselves for not responding with a clever one-liner or pulling off some cool gesture demonstrating that we were in control of the moment. This thread is for people who wish to share their clever responses to awkward situations they encountered. OR.. For people who wish to get a few tips from the forum in terms of how to respond to some common or not so common awkward moments. Over the years it seems that I have cornered in most every area known to mankind by employees who have some sort of grip or complaint. Putting me in a awkward position as I was not prepared for it. And frankly, you get tired of it... its work.. if it was fun we wouldn't have to get paid to do it. So, now after hearing the initial complaint, I respond with " well, then regrettably I will accept your resignation". It is amazing how that one sentence changes the tone and stops the complaint dead in ts tracks. From a managerial perspective, that is a great way to address conflict at that level. It would definitely give me cause to pause ...

Oh ... I have another one. In my country , if you are not married off by a certain time , people ask ... " what are you waiting on????" What is a clever way to respond to that? Your response should be, "I'm waiting for you to pay for my wedding, because I can't afford it." |
