Does anyone else HATE being asked, "how are you?"

Question

I fucking hate that question. I just feel like, do you not have anything better to say? Is there honestly nothing else you're curious about? 
This question just drives me up the wall. Also, questions like, "how was your day?" How was your week?
STUPID 
MINDLESS 
EMPTY 
questions. Like wtf do you even care? Do you really give a shit how my week went? No you don't. You don't give a flying fuck.
So shut the fuck up and ask me what I ate for breakfast or what I think about Leonardo DiCaprio. Anything but fucking "how are you." I've just started using one word answers to questions like that. Or just not replying in general if I don't have to.

…well, what if theyre genuinely asking it? what if they really do give a shit? hows it their fault if u find those questions pointless? i think u need to appreciate the fact that whether someone is interested or not, at least theyre actually taking the step to ask.

what if they dont wanna know that other shit? people dont always get into the specifics… ur idea of a good conversation is strange… and u have to learn to be accepting of whatever comes ur way. theyre not insulting u so calm down, it could b much worse.

In other words, you dislike small talk... I'm not much of a fan of it either. It doesn't necessarily annoy me though, mostly it just makes me feel awkward and bored.

they genuinely don't care... it's more of an empty greeting or salutation.

to quote the great/late george carlin... i respond with "moderately neato" or "i'm not on well, thank you"

:) have a nice day... "ya wanna just give me my fucking change please?"

Depends on who the person is...my new EX girlfriend? "Yeah get the fuck outta here" Some new girl?  "Yeah im pretty fricken awesome how about you?" I think you can fill in the rest of the options lol

AvaMarina · Answer

But... I actually do want to know. D:

Seriously though, I like when I ask how someone is, or how their weekend was, and they launch into a story about what's been happening. It starts up actual conversation, I get to know them a bit better, it's fun. And I genuinely do care about how they are. If I don't wanna hear it, I find a different polite greeting.

This should get some sort of question of the day award. I'm actually honest when I answer this, so I usually have something to complain about. I hope that it teaches people their lesson, but they still continue to ask every time.

I LOVE the "Thou shalt not talk to fill up space. Thou shalt shut the fuck up." Best thing I've read all week by far.

PercyMe · Answer

I appreciate when someone asks me how I am and I ask people how they are a lot.
It's polite to me and shows that the person is well mannered. I value that.
I was raised to say hello, how are you, please and thank you.
The other stuff like talking about what you ate for breakfast can come up later in the conversation.

Arwens-Fire · Answer

I don't mind asking or being asked this question. When I ask someone, I genuinely care. Although,  a lot  of people don't care , they just ask for the sake of doing so, but it doesn't make me loathe the question.

EyeSeaYew · Answer

It is a simple common courtesy. Yes it is an empty question, but just like saying "Please" and "Thank You", it is considered mannerable in conversations.

Go to bed, and wake up on the right side of the bed in the morning? :)  I ask people that all the time and I actually are curious to how their day went.

Hyped_up_on_coffee · Answer

Yeah because the answer is usually tired , or mediocre

Eternallylucky · Answer

The Indians (Call centres) and Australians ask that  a lot  lol.  I don't like telling them what my feelings are at that time. I just ignore it or say GOOD.

Anonymous · Answer

The only time I hate being asked that is if the person KNOWS I'm having a bad day or a hard time with something. If you already KNOW the answer, don't ask me... you're just going to get a sarcastic answer from me then, haha!

MaskofInsanity · Answer

Haha Australians do that a lot. It doesn't bother me at all.

sovetskii13 · Answer

Not really. But the answer is usually the same - "Okay" or "Fine".
