A teller at my one of my branches - every single time someone asks “How’s it going”, he says “Living the Dream”. Am I a bad person for wanting to throat punch him?

I personally think it is funny that your insulted or you think it is obnoxious. It’s just a comical greeting or a phrase. I bet your easily offended at other silly things. There are bigger more important things to worry about.

What’s wrong with that ?

Furst time I have heard it’s obnoxious . I say at times as a joke and the people always laugh because it is a joke.

Why do they purposely say it so obnoxiously like they are rubbing their easy success in your face while you are noticeably struggling?!

I wouldn’t want their dream.

It’s ridiculous that this bothers you

Nope, I’m just living the dream!

Hi Fishes, I've got offers from BNY Mellon and Siemens and I'm confused about which organization to join.
