FLTC, here's one you'll enjoy! It was a while ago and W came home from work obviously upset, I was cooking in the kitchen:
Me: You look upset, is something bothering you? W: If you were me, what would be bothering you right now? Me: I'm not you so I have no idea W: Well, why don't you ask me some probing questions? Me: Or you could just tell me W: You're a social worker, so if I was one of your clients would you expect me to walk into your office and just tell you? Me: Firstly, you are not one of my clients, you are my W and you can choose to tell me or not, it's up to you!
What a stupid interaction. Btw, in case you are thinking this, it turned out that the issue had absoluely nothing to do with me, it was a work issue! She was just looking for someone to lash out at, so pick the guy who showed some caring, go figure!
