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!"

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

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!

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

Morning? You mean good forenoon to you sir!

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

[–] vortexsurfer@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago (1 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

[–] hark@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months 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.

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.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months 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"

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] plactagonic@sopuli.xyz 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago
[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago

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

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 11 months ago

Oh to be as free as that man.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sou ds like a Ron Swanson joke.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

I saw an edgelord one too.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] gearheart@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

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