What I Did On Vacay Blah, Blah, Blah

When you ask someone about his or her summer vacation, you are … A) Not really listening to the answer. B) Sincerely hoping to hear that the person had a happy, restorative time away from work. C) Ready to compete by jumping in and explaining why YOUR vacation was so utterly superior in every way. D) Just making small talk. E) Not really sure how you will handle it if the individual gets miffed and says “Didn't you follow my tweets?” F) Good for about two minutes of listening but after that you sort of drift off and start wondering whatever happened to that one woman who used to be on Q6/Paul Turner, SR Slice. More choices here.

Question: Which choice best describes you when someone begins to talk about his/her vacation?
