This all sounds terrible. Glad I don't have to work in an office.  :dubious:

nothing worse than the guy in the office that uses the side mouth click/half wink to say "hi"

As a rule of thumb, I make sure to never ask the 40 yo guys stuck working in Customer Service  "how's it going/how are you"  I mean....wow, can you imagine their personal rabbit hole of depression they're dying to take someone on a tour of?

after the hot chick says what's up, you should take them back to your place to talk about rocks and maps.

i mean this.  stop using them.  i walk into my office this morning and some clown i've never seen before says "good morning" to me.  i don't know this guy.  why does he have to pretend to wish me a good morning because  i know he doesn't mean it.  also, don't say "hey" or "hello" to me either.  i don't want to be greeted if i don't know you.  then he  puts me into a position where i have to be rude and just  keep walking and not say anything back to him.

yesterday as I was leaving work, some girl said "have a good night!" to me and i said "you too".  i don't want her to have a bad night but i also realize that nothing that I say has any impact on how her night is going to turn out. i also don't know her or have any vested interested in the quality of night she has in front of her.


these types of interactions are outdated and need to be abolished.



Methinks your trying to be too edgy. Trying too hard at that.
