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!
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
Nothing good about it, apparently.
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 😁
Sounds Polish alright
I can hear the Polish accent
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”
The worst is being corrected.
"Good morning."
"Pfft... not really."
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.
Oh hey, I do the same! Is it 5pm, 5am, 11:51am? Morning!
Oh to be as free as that man.
When I am in a bad mood I answer with: "And what exactly is good about it?"
Going through the motions of normal social interactions, when suddenly--
MAN
Reminds me of the quote from The Hobbit:
"What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
-Easy on the pipe, wizard.
Sou ds like a Ron Swanson joke.
I'd just say "Morning. I won't know if it was good or not until this afternoon."
This is about the sort of answer I'd expect from an average Lemmy user.
