Ever say things with no thought?
Well, surprise! I do!
I have noticed a couple of times in the past few weeks when I just said things that were not what I should have said.
For instance, tonight I picked up some food at a local place and the girl said, very clearly, "Enjoy your food."
An appropriate answer would have been something like, thank you, or I will, or anything like that.
I said ...... You too
You too.
So the conversation was, "Enjoy your food." "You too," replied me.
Last week the clerk said, "Thanks for shopping here." I replied,
"You too."
I keep thinking they are going to say "Have a good night/day/weekend" which would make "You too" a completely logical reply.
When I was asked if I wanted the receipt, I told another clerk, "You have a good weekend too."
I also had to change my text messaging skill. I learned the microphone button on the bottom can be pushed and it allows you to say your message instead of typing it.
When I first started doing this I ended messages with, "bye." Like I was leaving a voice message on the phone or something. It made no sense.
I know I need to start being a more active listener....that would cut down on the You Too replies that are automatic from my mouth.
I don't mean to be the guy from left field, but it just happens.
Peace and Love
You too.
