The Hidden Motive

When you speak with someone, you will usually ask this of the other person or have it asked of you. "how was your day?"

Now, you will usually reply with an "ok" or a "fine" and return the favor or wait for the favor to be returned. This is not the eternal response. You might have had a terrible day or maybe a fantstic day. If not one of those two, that is how it will happen.
But there are some who become irritated when you do not say more than that casual responce. They apparently want more because either they want more details or they think you are lying.
What exactly is wrong with that responce? Just because it is "boring" does not make it any less true. So if we have a conversation some day and I say, "fine" when asked that loaded question and you become upset, i appoligize my life is not as entertaining as you had hoped it would be.
This now streches to another point, why is it that people feel the need to be entertained? Finding something to do is not THAT hard. Instant gratifacation has effectively infiltrated our society and taken hold. Maybe being bored is an activity? Think about that when you have nothing to do.
