But it is so fricking annoying to be asked this as it puts me in an uncomfortable situation of having to answer. And if I did not happen to get the award or whatever they are asking about, then I have to say it. What would be a good, diplomatic response to a nosy dweeb such as this when they ask these questions? For reference, this person is not a friend.
Ask them back. "did you?" if they say yes, say "congratulations, that's awesome." then walk away.
Thanks for this!
