What I Should Have Said Was Something

Today I was talking with someone at my temp job about how we should arrange things for the movers who would be arriving soon.

He said: Sometimes you just have to pretend that all these people are not as smart as you are.

What I should have said: Do you find that a satisfying way to live?

What I did say was nothing. It's like the inverse of a really excellent Mike Birbiglia story after which he named the album: What I Should Have Said Was Nothing.
