I was playing football with a few mates recently and got hit in the nose. It didnt seem to bother me at first, because no blood came out athough my nose hurt a bit. Since then it has become severely congested. This is bothering me, as I am pretty sure its not a broken nose (no swelling, no bump, no pain). However, the nasal congestion is very annoying as it prevents me from sleeping and the over-the counter decongestion sprays can only be used for like 3 consecutive days. Its been about 5 days and I have had a minor improvement in symptoms, but am still severely congested. I have decided to wait about another week before I go see a doctor. Has anyone had this kind of experience before, and did it just go away or what?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Broken Nose?
