Yeah, "Bob says hi, he was asking after you" is something I have said myself.
Say hi to your mom and them, we are having a potluck on sunday.

But the acks take ages
I do too, but I’m also autistic.
I like to pass it along. It’s nice to let people know that others are thinking of them.
I usually run with "I saw [insert name] not to long ago and they said hi"
I try
...d so hard, and got so faaaaaarrrrr
But in the end it doesn't even matter
If I remember I say it, but I don’t make an effort to remember. If the person wanted to say hi that badly, they can call the recipient themselves.
Yup. I give it like 30% chance of me remembering.
It honestly depends on the people and the situation.
Say I know my mom likes A and isn't crazy about B. I'm hanging around with both of them and both tell me to say "hi" to mom. I might not say B sent he a greeting because she doesn't like them, OR I might pass it along so she'll start to like them.
I did until mobile phones became the norm, now I ask if they need her number to call. It made sense before phones were everywhere and you didn't make it to see everyone, but send a text yourself. My name isn't SMS.
Ugh, the idea of a family member giving out my number to acquaintances is hell. Stick to the hi's.
Most people already have the number, the point I make in asking is to show them that I don't need to be their messenger. You can call my mother/father/grandmother yourself. If they're asking about my wife/kids, I'll just say "Sure" and then forget because I'm apparently a goldfish. Most people who say "Tell them hi" are my parent's and grandparent's friends anyway. I don't give out a true friend's number, I agree that is not good.
I will pass it along, but I'm autistic and I'm trying to err on the side of caution.
No.
i don't think i've ever remembered to pass on a "hi" to anyone
