I wanted to introduce a jar where every time you sent a useless "hello" message you had to put double whatever you put in last time (starting at $1). People are empty headed idiots maybe losing +$1000 will wake them up.
I truly hate this. At work I've told everyone that if they just send a "hello" message it will be ignored. I have things to do other then going twenty rounds of "hello" before getting into the actual subject.
"Hey, I'm reaching out with regard to ticket 27472. I'll need to remote into your device. You'll see a notification that it's happening. I just wanted to give you a heads up that the notification is expected behavior. Let me know if you have any questions!"
One message.
Do work.
"Hey again, the .zip is benign. Thanks for reaching out! Feel free to open it."
i say good morning to people in the afternoon to signal to them that it is my morning time as ive just awoken, so please be gentle and patient with me.

I'm trying to decide how much irritation my manager can handle.

Great! Start with this, and slowly escalate every week or two until they stop perstering you.

This person was so passionate about wasting time with introduction messages that they pay a recurring domain renewal to make their point.

Worth it.

It's a delicious type of petty hatred and I love it.

The kind of people who do that can’t be bothered to read the link, either. Alas.

"Can I ask you a question?"
"No."
wibble@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 220d
Well, they just did. Could say that it's $1/question then charge them $2 after answering their actual question

In Teams, use your pedantic BS pleasantry if you absolutely must.
But then use [CTRL] + [Enter] to start a new line and type out your message or request.
And while I am at it..... stop randomly calling people. Set a meeting or ping / text it.

I straight up ignore anyone who does this.
I don't give a fuck if it's the CEO.
don't waste my time.

"Good morning
Did you know that you can send a greeting and the actual body of the request in the same message?
If you waste my time again I will scream.
Yours faithfully, NABDad"

Jfc you just do both at the same time.
