Love it!!!!

Not so much a word that makes me see red, but one that confuses me-

Why is it that when somebody is referred to as becoming "emotional" it always means they break down in tears?

We are always expressing emotions, so more visibly than others. Aren't we also emotional when we're thrilled, angry, disgruntled, disgusted, humoured etc?

I'm very glad it's not just me who does this!
I use it from time-to-time in everyday use, but will use it nearly every time one of those people who've set up a booth in the middle of a popular shopping centre approach me with that question. It's so much more enjoyable right there in a public place!

The best one was a few years ago and went like this...
Them: 'Hello there, sir. Can I ask you a quick question?'
Me: 'You just did.'
Them: 'No, that wasn't it.'
Me: 'Well, you shouldn't have wasted it then, should you?!' [Smile cheekily, and walk away]
She stopped walking after me, smiled defeated, and returned to her booth to pester the next sucker who made eye contact.
