I’m tired of addressing this tedious topic at every new meeting.
While I realize that people are trying to make conversation, I find it annoying and tedious to explain every time that my height has absolutely nothing to do with my athletic ability. I have never played basketball, nor am I particularly into sports in general.
I realize that while it may be a bit funny, this probably isn’t a good way to respond. How do I gracefully answer this question I can’t seem to avoid?Although she has heard that one before, Miss Manners takes into account how many more times you have heard the stupid remark that prompted it. In one encounter, I was enjoying an adult beverage at a favorite establishment when I was hailed by a gentleman admiring both my jacket and my walking cane. Feeling flattered, I thanked him for the compliments and provided a very brief anecdote about each item. I thought he might enjoy that, be on his way and leave me to the correspondence in which I had been engaged.
This prompted yet another retelling, until I finally mumbled my thanks once again, explained that my correspondent was probably thinking I had ghosted him, and simply turned away.
