I know it messes with some people and I dont do it on purpose...but its not uncommon for me to do this....I will go in somewhere, store, resturant etc and the person working there will say their variation of Hi how are you today and I'll look them dead in the eye and say I'm just crappy today how are you? The looks on these peoples faces are hilarious....they have no response ready because as the original poster said they were looking for the standard, Im fine thanks
