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
“Sure? Because it isn’t mine either!”
Nothing good about it, apparently.
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!
Meanwhile me, greeting everybody with a succinct “Morning!” at every time of day.
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.”
“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.
Oh hey, I do the same! Is it 5pm, 5am, 11:51am? Morning!
Same here! I was already prone to saying “Morning!” anytime, as is… but after working nights for years, it has become permanent. I stopped trying to figure out what time of day it is when greeting people, so it’s always morning lol
But I rarely say, “Have a good morning”. It’s normally just “Have a good day”
I always greet with ‘morning’, no matter the time.
When I am in a bad mood I answer with: “And what exactly is good about it?”
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.
Going through the motions of normal social interactions, when suddenly–
MAN
“Good afternoon, because there’s no saving this morning”
Oh to be as free as that man.
Now is the only moment that matters. Don’t worry about tomorrow or relive yesterday.
This is about the sort of answer I’d expect from an average Lemmy user.
I’d just say “Morning. I won’t know if it was good or not until this afternoon.”
Sou ds like a Ron Swanson joke.
It’s probably from the same year parks and rec started too
Someone once told me “time means nothing to me”. Anyone that says this is super cringe 😅.
I always say “y’all have a good night”, even if I’m only talking to one person, at any time of day
Vigo: Death is but a doorway, time is but a window, I’ll be back.
I saw an edgelord one too.
