I saw an edgelord one too.

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."

"Sure? Because it isn't mine either!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Nothing good about it, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The woke left is trying to kill morning. Now you have to say “happy arbitrary ante meridiem temporal designation.”

Morning America Good Again!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Morning? You mean good forenoon to you sir!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Forenoon? That's new-age hippie revisionist nonsense.

We need to click our heels together and say Ave!

Meanwhile me, greeting everybody with a succinct "Morning!" at every time of day.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 😁

I can hear the Polish accent

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The worst is being corrected.

“Good morning, how are you?”

looks at watch “it’s 12:01pm so it’s good afternoon”

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

The worst is being corrected.

"Good morning."

"Pfft... not really."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

"Then I take it back."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Especially if there's a lineup of people waiting to shake hands. "Hello. How are you. Happy Easter. Gondor calls for aid."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh hey, I do the same! Is it 5pm, 5am, 11:51am? Morning!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I always greet with 'morning', no matter the time.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

When I am in a bad mood I answer with: "And what exactly is good about it?"

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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?"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

-Easy on the pipe, wizard.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Bilbo smiled, and leaned over the fence, where he slapped the pipe out of the wizard's mouth, and whispered "Don't be a dick, Gandalf."

Going through the motions of normal social interactions, when suddenly--

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

"Good afternoon, because there's no saving this morning"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Oh to be as free as that man.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

This is about the sort of answer I'd expect from an average Lemmy user.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I'd just say "Morning. I won't know if it was good or not until this afternoon."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sou ds like a Ron Swanson joke.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It's probably from the same year parks and rec started too

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Now is the only moment that matters. Don't worry about tomorrow or relive yesterday.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Vigo: Death is but a doorway, time is but a window, I'll be back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I always say "y'all have a good night", even if I'm only talking to one person, at any time of day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Someone once told me "time means nothing to me". Anyone that says this is super cringe 😅.
