What's the most desirous way to respond to a Kindly Brontosaurus? Blithe and Clueless Ankylosaurus?
Condescending Crustacean might be fun.
These responses have come to mind:
- "Was 'No' too complicated an answer for you?"
- "Standing there, your feet must be itching like crazy."
Aren't brontosauri sort of mythical at this point?
Noted in article, cited as strength for the term.
Cali, don't know anything about the board, but as noted, live in Olympia and can give a lot of info. My smartass version of what Plei said is to describe Olympia as a "redneck cobbler with granola sprinkles". My profile addy is good.
Huh. OK then.
Condescending Crustacean is a good band name.
I didn't read the article, I'm assuming Kindly Brontosauruses are those people who don't make a fuss but just stand there, a little too close, and watch you, until you give in, right? Those persons irritate me and I am unlikely to do anything for them that I wasn't going to do anyway and/or I do not absolutely have to do. You can stand there all day, buddy. Being stared at does not faze me. I've been stared at naked.
This is me. Basically I can't be bothered to try and change my natural behavior. Your behavior is only going to make a difference if you are obnoxious, then you get ignored.
