+140 Isn't it just amazing that when you ask someone how they're doing, no matter who you ask or what day it is, they will always reply that they are just fine? What a happy world we live in, amirite?

I usually say I'm fine because I don't want to elaborate on the petty things that are usually bothering me to someone I don't know very well.

I know, I'm the same way. It just seems kind of pointless to continue asking this question when you know you won't get an honest answer - although I still do it since it would be considered impolite not to.

I actually read once that the most common lie is, "I'm fine."

Somehow this reminds me of The Chocolate War.
