Have you ever given a 'shocking' answer in response to ' how are you?

You know, something besides the typical 'Im fine'.

Example "thinking about robbing a bank..."

Lol, yeah. I was actually taking a sociology class during the time and we were discussing “social norms” and going against them in the class at the time. I thought it was really interesting and it made me want to break a social norm which was breaking one to a question like “how are you?” My reply wasn’t as extreme as yours, but it did take my classmate by surprise as well as other classmates because I didn’t know the classmate that well who asked the question and I think he felt uncomfortable and wasn’t expecting that answer. I just told him “terrible” when he asked me how I was doing 😂 and he paused for the longest time, and just said “o-oh okay” and a couple students behind us laughed, and I just went back to doing my work like normal. It was really entertaining to see his expression I’ll never forget it. Breaking social norms are great.

@Stark yess. I've thought about that, and about how the other person would react.
