National Cray Cray Take a Hint Day

Today we are going to discuss hints. The definitions of a hint, what it means to take a hint and the different types of hints.

The definition of a hint:

• A slight indication or intimation
• A brief or indirect suggestion
• A statement conveying information in an indirect fashion

There are all kinds of different types of hints. Hint of lime in the new Tostitos chips, hint of mint in Haagen Daas ice cream, and a hint of cinnamon in Starbucks coffee.  Hints are an important ingredient in life. Taking hints shows that you are aware of your surroundings. If hints are taken properly, there is less chance of awkwardness and/or controversy. If someone offers you up some gum, your breath smells like warm garbage, so take the hint and the gum.

Hints are the seeds that are planted and sometime grow into Blockbusters and Best Sellers. The phrase “He's Just Not that into You” has turned into a concept, a book and a movie. This concept has heightened the awareness of the lack of interest between two people, which ultimately has become a huge time saver, life is short! He and she are interchangeable in this concept. Instead of explaining herself, sometimes a girl would rather disregard a guy she doesn't know better than the guy who bags her groceries. In a perfect world, a girl drops a hint, the guy picks it up and walk away, no harm not foul, no muss no fuss. I have found in recent activity from a couple of different people that this is not always the case. Sometimes ignoring doesn't always work, the hint is not comprehended and the spelling out of the actual words is a must. I am going to spell out of couple of catch phrases as suggestions for those of you going through the same problem:

• It’s Not Me It’s You
• Cray Cray Go Away
• 5 is not better than a 4 on a scale of Clingers

Here is a direct quote straight from my phone to one of the culprits behind today’s message:

"I am not feeling ya...sorry...don't wanna waste your time or mine. Good luck"
Apparently that can be translated into "Please don't ever stop texting me"

 

All I am saying is hints are an important part of the way we communicate, do not ignore them, they are there for a reason, kind of like a STOP sign if you will.
