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.

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

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 😁

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

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.

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.

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)

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

MrShankles 2 points 2 years 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"

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."
