What follows is a word for word transcript of a conversation I just had with another person... and pretty good evidence of why I don't do that very often.
(I hand this guy an invoice. He clicks his pen)
Other guy: Just another day, huh?
Me: Well, I hope so.
Other guy: What'd you say?
Me: I said, yeah. I hope it's just another day.
Other guy: (eyes now on me) What do you mean.
Me: (uncomfortably) I mean I hope this isn't the day that, like, an asteroid hits the earth.
Other guy: Why would that happen?
Me: (Long pause. Admittedly, too long) Why wouldn't it?
Other guy: Okay. (Signs invoice. Shoves it back at me) I'm not talking to you anymore.
Me: Alright. Have a nice weekend.
Other guy: Don't tell me what to do.
