They say this because it is considered unprofessional to say "Fuck You", and they work on commission. Upbeat sales people tend to move more product.

My dream is to annoy you and your shitty attitude as much as possible, I/A, so if I tell you I'm "living the dream" that is both self-fulfilling and the most honest and accurate response I could give to your question. Win-win!

It's all perspective/ perception. Your coke dream is my nightmare. I think you're resentful of the folks that actually mean it. They're happy, content and their lives have purposes without all the coke, women and Riviera. It's more than likely that even if you did have your dream, that wouldn't be enough either.

LOL @ just living the nightmare! That's great! I think I'll use that the next time I see my therapist.
