Random pet peeve
If you ask someone "how are you." you should really mean it.
I hate when someone asks, "how are you" and then gets bent when people actually tell them how they are

Re: Random pet peeve
you know what i think is funny about that...when you only say hello or hey to someone and they say "Hi, good, thanks" because they are so used to people asking them "how are you?". Honestly, I think I've done it before. As a teacher, when passing another teacher in the halls, we all pretty much say, "hey, how's it going?", but never really have time to stop and here the "real" answer since we're all so busy all day long! I do hate that though. Not that I always have time for it, but I do enjoy meaningful conversations with people more.

Re: Random pet peeve
But how do you feel when you say to someone "how are you?" and they then tell you all about their medical problems and how terrible they are doing and how bad they feel? Or how they have a headache and spent the whole day in a dark room...
Not talking about anyone in particular
wink wink nudge nudge...
But how does it make you feel???
Because I bloody buggery hate it.

I have people I work with (a manager & 1 boss) who sometimes DON'T EVEN say hello even if you say hello to them....that's just rude.

Don't you think it just ruins a whole conversation at the beginning. Why not just say, Fine thanks...and as the conversation goes on, THEN you can tell me how you feel etc. Don't drop me at the first hurdle lady!

Re: Random pet peeve
I always say Hi how are you...but I have to say thats only bc I am trying to be friendly. Alot of people walk past one another without even acknowledging and I find that plain rude.

Re: Random pet peeve
Yeah i do not need your whole medical history. But I have a co-worker who's greeting is good morning how are you. She then gets ****** if someone says anything other than "fine" or "good" Yesterday I sat here & actually heard her b!t@h out about someone who only answered "good, bracing for the fall weather today." It was such a meaningless comment & she got all bent out of shape about it
Like she was too important to listen to one friggin sentence
