And yet it seems everyone interpreted it that way, like so many times
before. So they're all wrong, are they? Read what you wrote again.

Well, you do live in the back to front/upside-down world known as
planet Bove, after all. You asked for help whether you meant it or
not.

And yet this keeps on happening to you when you post like this.
But you claim everyone else has got it wrong, LOL.

What? That makes no sense whatever. When I started the ketchup thread, I
did ask for foods that use a lot of ketchup. And I asked about jalapenos in
the jalapeno thread. But here? I said that I wished there was a sweetener
I could use for lemonade. How is wishing something asking for help? Are
their Genies here? I don't think so.

They did. And they lie too. You are a culprit.

The question is implied. It's a statement that leads the listener to
believe that an answer should be given. ( This is an unfortunate
habit of speech that you have.) You may not think you are asking for
help, but you are. You need to change the way you express yourself.
You said " I wish there was a sweetener I could use. So far I
haven't found
one. " The implied question is, does anyone know of a sweetener that
I could use. Watch your sentence construction and you won't be
bothered by unwanted help.

I have never heard such a thing! I have never heard of an implied question!
Thankfully the people in my real life don't go around trying to solve things
for me or telling me what to do. And if you think I will change the way I
do things just because someone here tells me so, you are dead wrong! I am
just very thankful that the real world is not populated with people like
you!

How in the world could you have deduced that from what I said? You just
read waaaaay too much into it. I gave you no parameters whatever as to what
I could and could not have so how would anyone know? Sheesh! And I'm
pretty sure that you know that I shop at Amazon so if there was something
available in a reasonable quantity and for a reasonable price I would get it
from them!

See? I do know how to ask a question.

It's the equivalent of overhearing someone standing in the canned goods
aisle at the store say "I wish I could find the bread". It's human nature
to be helpful and tell that person it's two aisles over, but Julie would
think that was rude the person was eavesdropping on a private comment
apparently meant only for herself.

That is something that has never happened either. In my world, people are
usually pretty direct. I have had people ask me if I knew were something
was. But I generally don't hear people talking to themselves and if I do, I
cut them a wide berth because they might not be all there mentally. And
yes, honing in on something like that would be rude.

jinx, that's an excellent example! I once saw an older gent searching
for something the spice/seasonings aisle. The man didn't ask for my
help but he was *obviously* having a difficult time finding something.
Turned out his wife had sent him to the store for Pumpkin Pie Spice. He
sure as hell didn't think it was rude for me to help him find it. In
fact, the man said, "Thank you!" Imagine that.

She could just ignore the posts where we unwitting people try to be
helpful but she can't seem to stop herself.

And they can't seem to stop themselves when no help was asked for.

Okay then. I wish it would rain here! I do. I think everyone else here in
this drought thinks the same. Do you really think from that statement that
I am asking for help with this? Aside from doing a rain dance, and sadly I
have discovered that I have no Native American in me, or perhaps casting
some sort of spell, there isn't much I could do.

Now do you see how silly what you said was?

Julie, if my husband can't find his keys, and says something like "I
can't find my keys," according to you, I should just ignore him, or
reply with something like "Oh, that's too bad." Then sit back and wait
for him to specifically request some help.

But I don't do that. I make suggestions as to where his keys might be.
I also generally pause what I'm doing and actively assist him in
looking for them.

What do you do in a case like this?

If I can't find my keys, and I want someone to help me look for them then I
ask them to help look. Simply stating that I can't find them is just
stating that I can't find them.

Well, that's you.

If someone merely just said that to me, which I don't think they ever have,
I suppose I would give them a smart remark like, "Okay... Why are you
telling me this?"

In this house, nobody would announce what you said. I might say that I
can't find the keys and could they keep an eye out for them? Or in the case
of one person here, it would be a frantic, "OMG! Help me find my keys!"

I just can't imagine anyone making a statement like you said above and then
expecting others to do something about it. Wouldn't be something that
people I know would do.

I care about my husband, so I generally go out of my way to help him
in any way I can. In fact, he wouldn't even have to say anything. I'd
observe him poking around on his desk, in pockets, etc, and I'd ask
what he was looking for. Or I'd intuit that the keys were missing.
From what you just wrote, it appears that you and the people in your
life don't take care of each other that way.

I can't imagine any situation where I'd give my husband a "smart
remark." I guess things are done differently in the PNW.

I believe you've got it backwards from what most people do. If my
husband told me he couldn't find his keys I would do what (I think) is
the thoughtful thing to do and get off my butt to help him look. I
wouldn't dream of giving him some smart ass comment while I continued to
sit.

I don't think my husband (or most other people) would ever make that
kind of statement ("I can't find my keys") and *expect* anyone within
ear shot to get up and help. Helping is just the thoughtful thing to
do, at least in my world.

Some folks won't understand that reference:

Odd, the "genie" in that commercial looks like the guy who owns the
nearby gas station/convenience store... I wonder if he's also doing
commercials?
