Guess What?
I'm so fustrated. About 8 times I've been fooled by the "Guess what? What? That's what!" joke at school. What can I do about it?The trick is to train yourself to not instinctively say, "What?" "Hmm?" works, as does "Yes?" But all of the alternatives require you to do some mental processing to avoid the obvious. Don't worry -- this gets easier as time goes on.
I've found that the most effective approach is to just walk away. If you train yourself to walk away every time someone asks you a question, you'll never fall prey to a juvenile prankster looking to capitalize on your feigned interest. The questions may get louder, and may become laced with expletives, but it won't be long before you're treated with the respect and/or ostracization you deserve. And at the end of the day, isn't that what we're all looking for?
