The eye roll

Post Reply New Topic

Ever had it? I am so tired of not being taken seriously...

Of course. I'm sorry to hear that though.

Yes, back in the 4th grade I had the eye roll. I got yelled at by my teacher for it because she thought I was being disrespectful. Back then, I didn't know how to explain to her that it was just a habit or tic I had. Now I wish I would have explained myself. Oh well, what's done is done.

It's a wonder my eyes haven't gone that way permanently when I see how dumb human beings can be.

For example just the other day someone said that their son once wrote a check out of their checkbook for a million dollars, which was payable to the name of their dog. The son was 18 at the time. Maybe it was meant to be a joke, at least I hope so. But then again there are people who think Alaska is an island instead of being attached to Canada because they never seen maps of both Canada and the US together, and I once heard a high school teacher say on TV that students have asked her if the presidents' faces on Mt. Rushmore were built into the mountain, or if they're "natural".

I have an eye rolling tic, among other tics. I try to look away to do it or hope that people will see/hear my other tics so hopefully they won't think I'm being rude.

Oh, did the OP mean a tic and not something you just do when someone says something to you that you find really dumb? Or someone giving *you* the eye roll because they thought you were really dumb? Well I feel really dumb, now.

I thought the OP was referring to when other people would roll their eyes at her.

Anyways, I prefer
egg rolls
and fried rice!

I like spring rolls, but not egg rolls.

I enjoy pork friend rice with fried chicken.

I like toilet paper rolls.

I like edible things better.

Edible things are overrated.

Maybe they'll find their brain if they keep rolling their eyes enough.

My husband just caught me rolling my eyes at something he said.

I wonder how often I do that.

What is it supposed to mean when people roll their eyes? Does it mean they're ignoring you and not paying attention?
