		DiggyJohnson on Aug 22, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: No Hello (2013) Does that sort of approach ever effect your mood at work? I get why you might want to say that, but it comes across as super robotic and...inhumane? Just curious, because I think of myself as being pretty sage but that sort of response would sit with me for awhile.

It's not easy to say, I would try to say it as diplomatically as possible. Possibly something like "Hello, please ask me your question directly instead of waiting for a response to your 'hi'" or depending on person or situation.
