I Hate this "joke"

[boringscreenname]

This isn't really sucky but it still annoys me none the less.

Every time a trucker gets out of their truck and ambles over to the Guard shack the first thing they ask is, "Why did you let it get so cold out?"

Seriously do people actually think this is funny? I have heard it so many times I just don't bother to respond, but deep down inside I'd like to reach through the winow and strangle the person who dares make this lame joke.

"Why did you let it get so cold out?"

Because I've been waiting to strangle the next person who thought they were funny by asking that - it relieves my stress...

Sir? Did you want anything? I can't help you if you're running away...

[RetailWorkhorse]

"Why did you let it get so cold out?"

Because I hate you.

Start screaming with laughter. Really overdo it. Continue for about thirty or forty seconds. Slap your thighs - the works.

"Oh, I've never heard that one before," and say it through trying to laugh.

They'll get the hint, or be worthy of cleansing from the gene pool.

Because I hate you.

LOL I like that one... wonder if it would work on them...

I'm really a penguin in a human suit.

It really is annoying, but I guess the weather is just something that everybody feels they can use as a conversation starter.

I get tired of, "Did you order this weather?" or "Did you ask for all this snow?"
Umm...right, because, if I had a choice or control over it, I would certainly make the weather as uncomfortable and annoying as possible.
Really, if they just stopped and thought about what a stupid comment it is...

meh, all you have to do is imagine them being executed in many ways.... kept me warm since most of the ones who'd do that would keep the damn door open...or even better was when the door managed to get it's hinges real loose and we had a wind storm, slammed door into counter, took about a week to get it repaired.

"Because I felt like choking out the next person who asks me that. Congratuations, come over here and claim your prize. Front or rear choke?"

I'm kidding, and I understand that CS doesn't promote violence.

[Nashida]

"Why? Well, I'm trying to lose these last few pounds, and I hope that maybe by freezing my ass off I'll finally fit in those size 6 jeans I've been craving."

Either that, or "My fridge broke, and I like my beer cold."

[Kaylyn]

Then there's the other side of that...I get out of my truck and walk up to the guard shack and the guard asks, "Why did you bring all this cold weather with you?"

*mutters under breath*

[Primer]

"Why, I surely did! I just love all this beautiful white stuff! Jack Frost nipping at my nose!" gushed with a HUGE smile!

They will think you're insane and never say another word to you!

I use public toilets, and I piss on the seat
I walk around in summertime saying "How about this heat?"

Sorry, for some reason this seemed relevent.

Mike's an Asshole, but we knew that about him already. *hugs*

I would certainly make the weather as uncomfortable and annoying as possible.

Why not? I don't like pretty days, I enjoy rain. "Yeah? You don't like my drizzle? How about a downpour then?"

It really is annoying, but I guess the weather is just something that everybody feels they can use as a conversation starter.

That's a pretty common way to start a conversation at my store, especially the last 3 or 4 days since we're having colder temps than normal.

It's lame but at least it's an ice-breaker.
