Stereotypical misplaced "cheerleader" type


There is this woman I work with and EVERYTHING that comes out of her mouth, she says like shes asking a question. (you know, she raises the pitch of her voice on the last syllable of the last word of her sentence.) It drives me ca-razy! and my opinion of her intelligence is dropping daily. . . mainly (but not entirely) because of this annoying speech impediment (because that's what it is). am i being unfair? it appears she enjoys lowering other's opinions of her intellect. i have heard her say on numerous occasions she would rather people think of her as a "dork" than a "nerd" because "nerds are all too smart and stuff".

what are your thoughts?

please write in with your opinions.

I think your husband's right: answer her like she really did ask a question, and when she looks at you weird, say, "Oh, was that not a question? I'm sorry...it sounded like you were asking a question with your voice going up at the end there..." Heehee.

Amazing, the things about other people's speech that become major pet peeves, huh?
