Hypothetically speaking

Hypothetical questions get hypothetical answers. - Joan Baez

When a sentence starts with 'Hypothetically speaking', I'm annoyed, no matter what words will follow.

Whenever someone asks me a 'hypothetical' question, I just want to say cut the crap, and tell me what happened. Number one, if you're talking to me about anything of slight importance, you're my friend (or I wouldn't be listening to you); And number two, if you've been my friend long enough, you know I don't judge my friends, so again I say, cut the crap, and tell me what happened. I will help you, and not hypothetically.

Why waste time, and breath? It either happened, or it didn't happen; You're either thinking about it, or not. Just be an adult, and talk about it. Whether you want my opinion, help, an idea, or a way out; Hypothetically speaking isn't going to get you any of that, from me anyway.

I'm starting to wonder why so many of my 'friends' know so little about me, and irritate me so frequently. The answer is simple; People are always going to be a disappointment. To me, at least.

Maybe I should start looking at my 'friends' in a closer manner. That list is already short, but once in a while a good purge is needed right? I can think of a few right now I'd like to be rid of completely. Just sayin'. Hypothetically, that is.
