I recently had a visitor.
I asked her what she wanted to do.
She said she didn’t care.
So I did what I wanted to do.
She didn’t like that.
(Who knew a make-up saleswoman
wouldn’t like a shoe museum?)
You know what I thought
when she complained?
Tough shit.
She lied to me
by saying she didn’t care
when she clearly did,
so why should I care
that she’s unhappy?
‘Cause that’s what the response
“I don’t care” is…
It is a lie.
You don’t care what restaurant
we choose?
Okay, I’m choosing that all you can eat buffet
with the history of giving
their patrons food poisoning.
You don’t care where your career
is heading?
Fine, I’ll demote you to entry level,
and cut your salary in half.
If you want to be viewed
as an honest person,
strike “I don’t care”
from your list of possible responses.
