I'm fine, how are you?

The Juggler

what???

i did not ask how you were. all i said was "hi." :x i really do not care how you are either.


people don't listen to other people's greetings anymore. with some people i bet you can just walk up to them and say something like "hey, you're ugly!" their response will most likely be something like "great! how are you?"

This is all I do. If someone says to me, "Hey, how are ya?", I just reply with "Hey, how's it goin'?", and I'm on my way. It's become a question, acknowledgement, and salutation all at once.

I hate when someone has to say Hi again if I already said hi to you
One Hi per day is my motto

As part of my job, I talk to a lot of folks looking for work, people who applied for one of our jobs and didn’t get it or whatever, and I tend to end my conversations with them with a “good luck.” Almost every time they respond with, “you too.” As I hang up the phone, I’m thinking, “what do mean ‘you too’? I have a job, motherfucker. “

the juggler can get behind this...after the initial "hi," a nod of the head is all that should be acceptable.

i would also accept a passing "yooooo" as you walk right by the person. or something along those lines.

I usually take a quick peek just to make sure there will be no clogging issues. Especially if I've eaten lots of dough lately - that seems to always cause problems.

Wait, what?

ive managed to dwindle the majority of my greetings down to a head nod. At the most, I'll give you a "hey" along w/ the head nod.
they're used to it now.
everyone pretty much knows i dont care

My wife tells me that I pretty much just growl at people that I don't really know or care about. She says I make an unpleasant, audible noise. I never really notice myself...

Same. Well, sorta. I'm told countless times that I wear my heart on my sleeve and that I can't not hold back my honest facial expression. Apparently a couple years back at an awards dinner for work, I thought I was sitting in a spot that was inconspicuous, but EVERYONE I knew that was receiving an award and were sitting at the "awards table" in front of the rest of us(ya know, the lowly people) said I looked absolutely miserable. Welp, I at least they were right. :thumbup:

A lot of people where I live just 'alright' as both a greeting and an answer. I don't usually say it but perhaps I will from now on.

As a great communicator, I just responded to an email from my boss about a new payroll policy that was loaded with confusing acronyms, with a simple – WTFIATBS

I heard a laugh from her office, so it must have been received with good humor.

Start saying I love you just so they say you too.

I prefer: "Good 'n you?" as a greeting expecting no reply. Everyone at a job years ago said it.

Wouldn't that be awkward?

hahaha....i once accidentally told a customer on the phone "okay, love you bye" before quickly hanging up. ...that's what incessent calls from the gf all day can do to one's mind. you just get into a rhythm of saying the same thing over and over again. the lady must have thought i was nuts. we never spoke again.

With some luck she is alone and thinking, "someone out there loves me." But is too shy to follow through, lol

I sort of did that, the first time my wife talked to me on the phone she said bye, I said bye, I love you, I thought she had hung up so I hung up, she later sent me a text asking why I hung up. We were friends before that point before it got serious.
