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

    Morning America Good Again!

    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.

    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 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”

        “Good morning.”

        “Pfft… not really.”

      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.

      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?”

    I’d just say “Morning. I won’t know if it was good or not until this afternoon.”

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