Generic Geriatrics
Today at work I greeted a customer with my generic, "Hi! How are you doing today!?!?!" Extra exclamation points for extra perkiness.
He was pretty old, and he looked up at me with a desperate look on his face and said, "Horrible. My wife just died. Do you know what that feels like?"
"No?"
"Like being hit by a car."

Shit. Wow.
jesus jeannette
it does.
I'd say it feels more like being hit by optimus prime at 80 mph.
I never thought people would really say what they actually feel like. I mean, if I had a bad day and someone asked me "How´s it going?" and I would say "Not good", he or she would propably think I was suicidal or something.
Most of the time I just say "I´m OK", which is fitting most of the time.
thanks for sharing a very human moment.
