im glad i don't have some chestnut of banter that i always say when i end a conversation or leave a building or whatever.
like, there's a guy that always says 'saw you later' when he leaves my work. or, a lot of old people think its cute to say 'dont do anything i wouldn't do' when they leave my work. its kind of sad in a way because that kind of shit is all these old bastards have now.
'dont do anything i wouldn't do' is supposed to insinuate that this guy saying it (the billionth fucking guy to say it and they are all anciently elderly) is one wild bastard. its all he has.
every once in awhile one of these guys gets played up by the nurses as 'oh what a practical jokester, hes the funny guy'. whenever i finally meet that dude he's always just desperately hanging on to what ever humor he has left, because life is scary and hes in a scary part of life. so they kind of heave jokes at you in halting speech and its always like, a nock-nock joke.
so, im just grateful that i don't say 'saw you later' to people when i leave a place. im sure theres some supposedly witty back-story or detail or reason why this douche says 'saw you later', maybe he works with a saw or something. im not going to indulge him in his cute little back-story.
i swear to god as i was writing this, another old guy left my work. he was compelled to tell me "don't fall asleep there or they'll make you wear a seat-belt". which makes very little sense but hey, i'll play along. im a nice person.
