Ohhh, the “How are you doing?” question was a good one! I hate when people answer with “Not much.” Bugs me to no end.

The one that always catches me is when the gate agent politely says to me “Have a nice flight” and I mutter back “You too.”

This is much like the restaurant hostess and “Have a good dinner.”

The air travel one is a good one — I guess it’s just so ingrained in our psyche to say “you too” to anything people say, that it makes us look silly — at least, it would if anyone was listening.

For once, I’d like someone at the airport to say back, “Uhh, I’m not going ANYWHERE, sir.”

“Can I help you find anything?”

“Yup.” Customer turns back to looking at their book.
