4. "When you want to ingratiate yourself or be nice " In response to Reply # 0
If I'm dating a guy or he's a friend or my boss I will pretend he's smarter or knows more even is he's wrong. Like I'm at dinner with friends and they are saying there will most likely be a government shut down soon.
I say no it's not likely because boehner just resigned. They disagree because they don't understand what that means to the political situation. I defer to them because they are male and smart or argumentative isn't a desirable trait in a woman friend.
If a guy who I'm dating tells me babies don't ever sleep through the night until they're 2 or 3, I'll feel sorry for him. But I won't tell him it's a fact that most babies are sleeping through the night at 6mos to a year.
If my boss spells something on a letter I'll type it up or send it out just like that for him, because I'm not expected to be smarter. I have been yelled out for correcting mistakes like your you're.
Basically if you're a woman in most scenarios. That is how you navigate life.

13. "when its funny" In response to Reply # 0 Wed Nov-18-15 03:11 PM by Selah
in a ranking/joning/snapping "battle" I heard two things that were winningly-funny because they were so stupid
(both grill related)
1. we were playing questions, like 30 of us, and this dude asked this girl with an extremely pronounced gap between her two front teeth "why you got a canyon in your mouth?"
2. these dudes were on a bus ranking and this girl tried to jump in randomly and was shut down when one of the guys told her to shut up because she has the red string and a chunk of salami between stuck her teeth
extra bonus just cuz i love the story...
2. my boy once was playing video games with this girl he used to bone. she was beating him and talking trash when she decided to clown him for not passing classes. she mentioned several people in the room by name and stated their majors, when she got to him - who had dropped out the previous semester - what HIS major was he without missing a beat said "my d*** in your mouth"
maybe you had to be there, but in the moment and to this day those are all-time legend-makers

sometimes, for sport, it is entertaining to feign ignorance in order to watch someone talk about something they are pretending to, and then you zap them @ the last minute with real, contradictory facts
its more under playing my skills they don't want to shell out more dough they don't get *body rolls* AWWWWLLLLLLAAAAADIS ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. Live so that when you die, you rejoice, and the world cries. ~~~~ You cannot hate people for their own good.

maybe i'm not in the mood maybe i think they wont be receptive maybe i think letting the cat out of the bag is more trouble than it's worth
wouldnt say it's playing dumb if i'm asked something point blank, i give the real or some version of it but i'm not above side stepping the real definitely not above it

Folks will go a lot easier on you if they think you didn't know you weren't supposed to do that. I've had a few times where I had to hit someone in authority on some "oh, I wasn't supposed to do that?"
