Cheer up!
Sarcastic Girl's post reminded me of this. Apparently my natural relaxed look can be misinterpreted as being a bit pissed off, even if I'm perfectly happy, so I used to get told to "cheer up" or asked "are you feeling OK?" fairly regularly. No, I don't need to cheer up, I'm perfectly happy and yes, I feel fine, I look this shit normally.

As for the "Cheer up, it might never happen" brigade, may they rot in a padded cell watching an endless loop of the Chuckle Brothers. The last time someone told me "cheer up, it might never happen" got an earful and nearly a punch in the face. My day old son was on a life support machine and I'd just that morning walked in to see the entire medical staff of the ward rush to his incubator after one of the nurses called out for help. Thankfully, four years later he's still here and doing pretty good, but a word of advice to those congenitally cheerful gits, if you utter your trite phrase in a hospital, the chances are pretty high that something really shit *has* happened.

as for the over cheerful : the secret to a happy life is a low IQ and lower expectations.

thats shuts them up

I has
naturally pissed off face. I suppose it's better than sitting looking gormless.
