[pamelahansen]

I always say- “Could I have a less complicated question, please?”

[johnwaters]

When asked how I am, I frequently answer, "Why, what have you heard?" That's catches people completely off guard.

[matthewsinclair]

I sometimes say, this is the second best day of my life. They normally ask " whats your first?" and I say, hopefully tomorow.

[justincarrillo]

Dave Ramsey’s “better than I deserve” response to “how are you” Is one of my favorites.

[erikschoff]

Living the dream, one nightmare at a time

[drfill]

Nowdays cashiers often ask "do you have a rewards card?"
I respond with "being here is its own reward"

[NineToes]

People: Hey. How are you?
Me: Vertical.

[RoxAqui]

Sometimes I go with "do you want the social answer or do you want the truth?"

[OkieGal]

A friend taught me this one: “I’m so good, if I were any better, I’d have to hire someone to help me enjoy it!”

[brothermarion]

In Germany, I quickly learned if you asked someone how they were doing, they would actually TELL you every issue! I also observed I was never asked how I was doing. So when in Germany say hello and ask for a beer. (Which is plentiful) ✅

[d.edwardmalcolm]

I'm elderly, so i often respond, "I'm alive". People will laugh and it lightens the mood.

[dinahnicest]

"Not too bad. Yet."
"Still kicking. So stand back."

[shanesmith]

When folks ask, " how are you?" A good response, is" why? What did you hear?"

[Thebipolarbowler]

The two that I alternate between lately are "I cant answer that without my lawyer present" and "If it was any better I would grow a tail and wag it" they definitely go over well and people seem intrigued with the first one as though I have some hidden double life that I cant speak of.

[owendooley]

Tell them 'I was good' but 'I think I'm getting over that' and say it in a cheerful tone. It's really funny to see their face's trying to make sense of it

[kiaratheexplorer]

I came up with saying “medium rare” or “medium well” and I love it 🤣🤣🤣

[ShelterDogs]

At one point, I started answering but I think that was a bit much for most people. Thank you for this.

[charleycavanaugh]

I like the answer my Poppa use to give he would say "pretty good, I woke up and didn't see candles or smell flowers " so it's
a great day. LOL 😄

[HighlifeSAP]

Them: How are you?
Me; If I was any better I'd be twins! Get in twice the trouble and blame the other guy.

[chiroptera]

When asked "Can I help you ?" At a store... My favorite response is "They don't make the kind of help I need"😜
