I’m asking because it’s a very normal thing to do here.
When you enter a room, but also things like a hairdresser or say a small cafe, you say hello to the people there and say goodbye when leaving. Or when taking a bus, you say hello to the driver and goodbye or thank him when getting off.
I was only recently told by some online friends of mine that this is pretty weird in other places. So I’m wondering if I’m (or my country) is the weird one or them
I say that as a greeting but if you really want to answer it, I will listen and respond with a “Not bad…You?” because I’m also awkward.
Ok, but that’s not a greeting. That’s a question
It is but that’s what some people do. It’s common. Like I said, I will listen if people choose to actually answer. I won’t be rude about it.
