One morning, a few weeks back, I made eye contact with someone who was obviously having a rough morning. I knew I shouldn’t engage but I also didn’t want to ignore them, so I gave a quick good morning. They promptly responded, “fuck your morning.”
I think of that interaction every day.
“Thanks, you too.”
It’s not my morning
The woke left is trying to kill morning. Now you have to say “happy arbitrary ante meridiem temporal designation.”
Morning America Good Again!
Morning? You mean good forenoon to you sir!
Forenoon? That’s new-age hippie revisionist nonsense.
We need to click our heels together and say Ave!
Reminds me of my Polish colleague who once arrived at the office and said: "I would say good morning. But it’s not a good morning. "
The previous night our manager had taken the team out for dinner and drinks, paid for by the company. It wasn’t a good morning for any of us 😁
Reminds me of my Lithuanian colleague, who would walk into the office and not say anything. If you greeted her, she’d cast you a wary look like what’s so special about this morning to make it “good” mothafucka
I like to stick with a simple “hello” so I don’t have to keep track of time (e.g. during meetings across timezones or even when I’m so scatterbrained that day that I lose track of local time) and it’s also less presumptuous.
The worst is being corrected.
“Good morning, how are you?”
looks at watch “it’s 12:01pm so it’s good afternoon”
“Then I take it back.”
People have accepted that ‘morning’ is my standard greeting regardless of the time of day. It’s even become a thing everyone says within my close friend group.
If its a group of people I just mutter bunch of things: “hi” “morning” “happy birthday” “merry christmas” (doesn’t matter what day or time)
As a teenager I’d sometimes just randomly sprinkle in complete nonsense as a greeting, like ‘wtf is oatmeal’, or ‘I speak for the trees’, and hardly anyone noticed
Especially if there’s a lineup of people waiting to shake hands. “Hello. How are you. Happy Easter. Gondor calls for aid.”
Oh hey, I do the same! Is it 5pm, 5am, 11:51am? Morning!
I always greet with ‘morning’, no matter the time.
Sou ds like a Ron Swanson joke.
It’s probably from the same year parks and rec started too
This is about the sort of answer I’d expect from an average Lemmy user.
Vigo: Death is but a doorway, time is but a window, I’ll be back.
I’d just say “Morning. I won’t know if it was good or not until this afternoon.”
I always say “y’all have a good night”, even if I’m only talking to one person, at any time of day
