"I want to ban the use of the word 'share'. It has become a word to
justify being selfish; as in 'Let me share this with you (regardless of
the fact you're not interested, and I just want to make my point)'. And
variations."
Yes, how does one respond to "I'd like to share this with you" when clearly the sharing is undesired and the hint is not taken? Does one say "Yes, Howard, and I'd like you to go to hell, but clearly, only one of us is going to get our wish today..." ?
I've got a new hobby now. Coming up with responses to "I'd like to share this with you."
"And I'd like to be a millionaire, but I don't see that happening today, either."
"Do you really mean share? Does that mean I get half?"
And my personal favorite:
"Hell no."
I've been delighted to have something new to chew on in my head to replace the chew toys that have been leaving slobber in my brain. And that's not even counting election slobber. *shudder*
