"I appreciate you"

Getting tired of hearing this banal trite bullshit.

Guess what, I do not appreciate you.

I certainly appreciate the care given by the doctors & nurses whenever I’m in the hospital, and let them know it. 
I never say “I appreciate you”, but rather “your help” or “your care”.

I like cats. But they don't belong in a bar/cafe. Nor does your obnoxious puppy or rottweiler.

Next time I hear "can you watch my dog" going to say sure, then leave with it.

Do people really do that, with random strangers?  I’m not a pets=people person, but that’s kinda like, ‘Hey, will you watch my kid while I go take a leak?’

It would just be freaking weird.

Yes. Usually to someone they may know. Or a thirsty dude trying to impress a coed. Hi, can you watch my dog for a second?

Just thank them and pay the bill.

"You wanna...?" or "Would you like to...?"

Really it's not so much the question as it is the response to my answer. On some occasions, that's "yes" or "sure, why not?" 

Most of the time, though, I go with "Do I want to? No. Will I? Yes."

If the original question came from a person of the male persuasion, it's all good, and away we go. But with the female, for some reason that triggers a discussion about why not? Pointing out that I said yes invariably fails to close the discussion.

Fuck me.

It's pretty trivial - but damn, it can be annoying.

I could have written most of those.

Related, earlier today I received an email from geico saying someone was going to be added to my insurance as a driver because "It appears that 'driver' may be a licensed or permitted driver with your address listed as their primary address."

We moved in a couple months ago and presumably this was someone who lived here before. An apparent dumbass who hasn't updated their address.

They informed me if I didn't take action, this person would have been added.

Yeah, that makes sense. New homeowner at a new address with a different last name from the previous owner. So we'll add someone from that previous owner's policy to your insurance unless you tell us not to. Idiots.

As it was, I had to call and go through about 6 levels of AI phone tree bullshit to get someone.

Yeah right. I learned that game in my first marriage.
