What's Up?
September 17th 2008 11:15
OK, so I was on the bus heading in to watch a screening of Eagle Eye this afternoon, AWESOME action film - will write about it tomorrow on Salty Popcorn, when I started thinking about what to write for my first proper article on Total Randomness.
While deciding on something random and witty to form in my head as it kept showing me images of blank voids and the total black hole that is my mind I heard a lady's phone start ringing behind me. She had some MP3 "loud" version of Rhinestone Cowboy that drew some chuckles from the mind numbed robots staring straight ahead and riding the blue bus to smogsville. So she answers the phone with "What's Up". Straight away I growled at the use of the term.
I absolutely loathe having my calls answered with that combination of words. To me it comes across as a watered down version of "what the fuck do you want asshole, I am too busy trying to stick my head up my own ass to listen to any shit you have to verbalise". OK - maybe I exaggerate slightly, but there is no emotion in the statement and I can always hear a sigh with the use of it. Two of my closest friends use it all the time and it gets my back up immediately and my normal response is "nothings up" said with slight agitation before I continue into the conversation I intended to start. Most of the time this flies straight over the head of intended person and they add my weirdness to the unending catalogue of Jasonisms they no doubt write in their Jason file.
So to prove you all I am not insane or more likely to prove to you that I am slightly batty (lol) - this is my explanation. And Sam and Carrie - if you read this - stop it!!!
Hahaha
I would also like to say thanks to the lady with the Rhinestone Phone - thanks for my first article.
So, is there any annoying sayings that you hate??
Laterzzzzzzzzz
