Welcome to my first recurring blog feature, entitled "Hmm. Interesting". If you don't know already-- Good thing you are reading this! Okay..so if anyone ever says to you ...."Hmmmm. Interesting"..chances are that either:
A) whatever you were just talking about is in NO WAY, even REMOTELY interesting....and they were SOOOO bored listening to you speak, they reply "hmm. interesting" in hopes that you won't notice that they can't recall a single thing that you said.
B) what you said was "interesting"....but not in a good way. So instead of making a scene and telling you that you are an idiot, a weirdo, off your rocker, or creepy they say "Hmm. Interesting" and then go home and tell their friends and family about the weird thing (you) that happened to them today.
C) you were the 1 exception in a 1000 where what you said truly was interesting and they genuinely enjoyed hearing about it. (which by the way is the case if I have ever said to YOU...hmmm. interesting)
***readers note...the "C" option is usually followed up by some semi-intelligent follow-up questions. So if the "hmmm. interesting" ended the conversation, stop kidding yourself...you are an A or B.
Please, I beg of you...if anyone says to you "hmm. interesting" ...stop talking. cut your losses. move on.
If you ever see anything that is "Hmm. Interesting." email it to me and you will be featured on kleinlife!

I love this. I just had a conversation very similar to this! I said Hmm, interesting, but unfortunately the talker kept on going!
