    if you’re at this point, why be polite?

    ‘This/that is of no moment to me.’ Learned that decades ago from an older attorney who mentored me. I use it sparingly, but when I do, it really hits.

    “Please. I don’t give a flying fuck.”

    Manners go a long way. Always use the magic word.

    A “wow” or “that’s crazy” thrown in every now and then usually does the trick

    “Thanks, I appreciate the input. I’ve got higher priorities that I’m working on right now, but once I have the resources to give it the proper level of attention, it’ll be on my to-do list.”

    Unsaid: I’ll never have adequate resources, the proper level of attention is zero, and it’ll stay on the bottom of my to-do list until I forget.

  39. drorezdrorez Avatar

    Walk away. Seriously. When somebody is telling me about something I just don’t give a fuck about and don’t want to talk about and don’t want to hear, I just turn and walk away. That is the easiest thing to do, it’s not nice. Could be frowned upon, but I honestly don’t give a fuck. Most people get the hint, some people ask why I’m not paying attention, and I tell him because I don’t give a fuck about what you’re saying. Go away.

    Well, I’ll tell ya, bud, if indifference was a sport, I’d be the reigning world champ, undefeated, never even had to lace up. Y’ever try to make a horse drink after leadin’ it to water? ‘Bout as effective as askin’ me to care about whatever this is.

    Might care less if I tried, but honestly, that’d take effort, and effort’s too much effort. So what I’m gonna do is stand here, nod real polite-like, and hope you realize this conversation’s got about as much significance as last year’s snow.

    Professionally, saying “this isn’t a priority right now”

    It’s easier to set boundaries around what your topics-of-choice are instead of saying you don’t care. In truth, you’re disservicing everyone in saying you don’t care because your so called “stating the obvious” is not helpful under most circumstances due to nothing being completely obvious or probable all the time.

    “I’ll take that into consideration.” Or “understood.”

    In the context of someone asking, are you sorry: “I’m figuring that out as I go.”

    In the context of someone being upset because you did something: “it’s unfortunate that you feel that way.”

    “Genuinely, why should I prioratise this or be concerned bt it?” Then when given an answer, if your mind has not changed, breifly explain why it is not a part of your orwn goals or job responsibility.

    From my experience, just saying “I don’t care” usually works.

    Just say, “I don’t give a flying flamingo.” John Bercow said it during a session of the House of Commons. Why can’t you?

    For clarification:

    John Bercow, former speaker of the House of Commons

    House of Commons, the lower house of UK parliament.
