What is it with people that if ever you ask them how they are out and about or at work they love to say/pretend that they are busy

In fact its quite the conundrum for a subordinate at work if their boss says "Dougall, are you busy at the moment?" ie what to say..:conf2:

But generally people love to tell you they are super busy. Ironically very successful people who are genuinely busy tend to have the most time because they manage it very effectively.

Do you tell people you are "super busy" :suspect:

obviously a reply along the lines of "im too busy to reply will not be tolerated

I only say I'm busy if I genuinely am. Don't want people thinking I can't manage my own time.

I never say "super" busy or put super in front of any word unless I'm being sarcastic :hee:

'Keeping busy?' is a nice change up from 'how are you' and the like
