A couple of weeks one of my colleagues said he really hates how much I say 'why?'.

My reply...?

"Mmmm... Wh-... WHY?!"

 

[Richard]

You could have gone with “What makes you say that ?"

 

[ghenwa]

Could have been "too bad"?

 

[qingdom]

"Don't you have other more important things to hate me about? Tell me about those instead. I'm curious."

This little thread was supposed to be a little self-joke at the INTP need to have everything​ explained!

Yes. We're indulging you on that, aren't we? bah... nvm... gonna stop trying altogether.

Could have gone with, "Yea. I really hate it, too." Then it would have been a self-denegration joke. Another INTP forte.

( @Richard ) ;-)

i'm thinking your response was completely appropriate.

Hey, looking on the bright side, at least I’m good at something

Edit:

I really, really wish I could put self deprecation on my CV.

I dunno, I think an answer like "Peanut Butter" would have gummed up the works more.

Now, Dearie, please stay away from any of the jobs for which having that on your CV would garner you any points!!! Morbid humility aside, you are too good for that sort of job! (Brrrr! Just imagine the sort of boss who would be happy to find that quality in someone!) No. That does not go on your resume! Just leave it as your avocation, a hobby at which you have become very skilled.
