But we are fake, you just don't know it yet! :-) Typical morning conversation American to American: - Hey man how are you? - good, and you? - good too! See you later! Now, that happens so fast that I have tried the following, and the answer was the same! - hey man how are you? - oh man my dog just died - good too! See you later! Basically, asking how you are is just a courtesy but frankly we don't have time for you. - hey man how are you? - well, you know, my wife has told me she wants to divorce me and my kids are not talking to me. It's been kind of rough you know? - hey man sorry to hear. [starts walking away] I'd love to talk but I got a golf session to go to with my buddies. Keep it up ok? [dissapears] sigh

Conversation-killing words: Great. Fine. Fantastic. Perfect. - How are you doing? - Doin' great! Everything is fine. Sally and the kids are doing great - So how was your vacation? I heard you went to <insert-desirable-location> - It was great. We had a fantastic time. - So...did you have good weather? - The weather was just perfect, could not have asked for more. - [Resigned by now] All right, gotta run - stay in touch, man! - So great! to see you!!!

  The one that kills me the most is when you announce your resignation from the job. All of the sudden, everybody says "Hey, let's take you to lunch!" Me: "Dude, I have been here for 4 years. I have taken everybody to lunch at least 8 times. Once you came. The other times you were 'busy.' Now you want to take me to lunch on my last week? Not once you invited me before!"
