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.

It’s not my morning

lugal@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 1y

"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!

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.

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

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.

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.

tetris11@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

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

Randelung@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

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

PunnyName@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

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

MrShankles@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 1y

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"

Randelung@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

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?"

-Easy on the pipe, wizard.

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--

MAN

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

sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org · 8 pts · 1y

Oh to be as free as that man.

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

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

over_clox@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

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

doingthestuff@lemy.lol · 6 pts · 1y

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

bizzle@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

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

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