Funny comments people make

StealThis · Jun 8, 2006

Someone at work today made possibly one of the funniest comments about me be quite that i have ever heard lol. He goes.. you're so quite you should be an assassin.. or a ninja or something. I actually had to laugh when they said that. Normally i get pissed off when people make comments about me being quite but this time it was actually quite funny haha.

Well, there is this guy at work, who without him I wouldn't laugh as much. Last week at lunch, where everyone sat around he goes to me "Alex, be quiet . You talk to much." I was amused by what he said though.

What it was a joke, you were not really talking at all or something?

I've had this, I went to this training course thing for a few months, and i was really quiet and didn't really talk much to all the other people and trainers. but on the day when i was leaving, you get a card signed by them all, and one of the girls wrote on my card Good Luck, Chatterbox. I didn't find it funny though i found it embaressing and i was abit taken aback by it.

I had people say stuff like that all the time when I was in school.Needless to say I never found it to be very funny and to be a little offensive.

I have a question for everyone. What are you supposed to say to people who ask you this, "you don't talk very much do you?" :lol: I never know how to answer that..I mean if I don't talk very much why do they expect me to talk about that I don't talk..? :lol: :wink:

For me, I will just admit the truth "Yeah, i don't talk much, I'm quiet". What I hate people's comment is if they say "Hey, you are very quiet, please talk more", it seems that being quiet is something wrong, it's not...I guarantee it makes me even more quiet than before.

Heh, yeah, I know, it's like people expect some sort of apology. I guess it's just one of those redundant filler questions, like "So you're wearing your red sweater today, eh?" or "So this is where you are"... Well, yes, obviously!!

turtlegirl · Jun 9, 2006

In my mind lately I act out what I'd really like to say/do in those scenarios. For example, say how I see how my quietness must really bother them for them to insult me so, and then storm out

(in social situations, not work type situations where you have to put up with it).

Or say something like "yeah, I've been working on my self-centered paranoia that people are thinking negatively of me/my behavior".

Or simply just say something nice about them in the hopes they may feel a twinge of guilt for basically insulting you... nothing wrong with being quiet but there is something wrong with being a jerk, even if it's a well-meaning "I didn't mean anything by it" jerk.

Grr, and I hate when you're in a mixed group with friends/spouse/family and strangers, and none of the people who supposedly love you will defend you; they may even join in on the ribbing!

But perhaps the most mortifying is not the comments like those but the looks they seem to exchange with one another that they think you are weird

Sorry, flashback from first day of living in the college dorms there

loneEAGLE · Jun 10, 2006

once somebody said to me "gee dont you ever talk" i screamed out "what the fuck do you think im doin now" ive also used to say "you ever hear the saying you got to look out for the quiet guy..well look out for me"needless to say they never bothered me again :twisted:

Linds · Jun 11, 2006

ive also used to say "you ever hear the saying you got to look out for the quiet guy..well look out for me"

LOL thats a good one. I'll have to remember that. :lol:

Mysterioux · Jun 11, 2006

Lol, i've been called a ninja before, too. xP
It's alright when they're just joking around like that, maybe people just want to see if that will prompt some sort of reply. I just hate it when they go too far, though.
It's like i've just made some very harsh and personal comment about them, and they feel that they need to insult me or something. I also hate it when people are like "right, now it's my mission to make you talk!" and i'm just like.. -_- Why? Why does it bother you so much? Can't you just like me for who i am?
Sigh.
I find it difficult speaking up to say that it won't work, too, but they give up quickly anyway.

glowinthedark · Aug 2, 2006

That is just the most annoying thing. They expect some kind of answer when they ask "Why are you so quiet?" or "Do you ever talk?" And I DO talk sometimes! They just never notice that...

fallenfeather · Aug 2, 2006

You could always reply with "We can't both be loud mouth attention seekers who never shit up"

Diluted_Acid · Aug 12, 2006

hah! . . . . . try being nominated as year 10's biggest loud mouth at a year ten formal

. . . true story :x

aliasgirl · Aug 12, 2006

Further to the ninja and assassin comment....if someone asks why you are so quiet or why aren't you talking, you could say that you are in training to be a ninja or an assassin. That would diffuse the situation and not make you feel so embarrassed and take the pressure off. There won't be any stunned silence from you because you can't think of anything to say and it would also make other people laugh.

I had never thought of that before so next time someone says that to me, that's what I will be saying.

moodygoo · Sep 3, 2006

well I suppose owning up to assassin training might prevent further questions...
I used to get "Never trust the quiet ones" from this guy, which wasn't funny at the time. Although secretly devising some plan to destroy them all appealed... :twisted:

That just pisses me off when people say that to me. Of course, it's people who don't like me who say it, so I know they are just trying to be mean.

savage_beagle · Sep 3, 2006

good to laff.

I am glad you had a little laugh at yourself and didnt take offence to your co-workers comment..i think that was very good for you. Some of you here would be crushed if you recieved the comments i got thru elementary, high school and young adult working life. There were many nasty put downs and critisisms from my father, brothers, school friends, strangers, c0-workers...even sometimes clerks who thought i was much younger then them when it was not the case. Slowly, i had to roll with the punches, i too was quiet for awhile, as i was observing others on how to react and interract with each other. In the last few years, i am the one who gives it back in buckets. To some, i am a sweety, the nice guy who is thoughtful and sincere..who is always joking around. To the ones with the BIG MOUTHS, who like to tease and poke fun of, they soon learn that with me....i not only keep up , but i can put a whole world of insult and hate on you if you want to play that game, to the point where they will be cautious on what is said the next chance..if i feel like giving you another chance. Now dont be thinking i am a total jerk....i have stood up for others, and i have even pull aside others and told them to stand up for themselves and not to let others disrespect them. Somewhere..sometime..i went from a lamb to a LION.

...i like that one..that's why we stick out like sore thumbs, cause so many other people are the opposite of us ..one time this customer says to me..in front of tons of people.."why don't you speak louder, i can't hear you, you have the voice of a quiet little mouse!" :evil:

Emma · Sep 3, 2006

The stupidest thing people used to do to me was come up to me and ask me if I could speak, and when I told them no, that I was a mute and unable to speak because I had no voice box, they would be dumb enough to go back to their friends and say that no, she couldn't speak, she told us she was mute before gossiping about why I was born with no voice box.....???? :?: :?
People are so dumb sometimes it's almost funny
