That would save so much bullshit if I could just skip that stupid pleasantry.
I tell people how I’m doing now and then to throw people off. Feels sort of like a power play, but they usually seem to think “wow this guy is full of himself.”
They probably get annoyed because you didn’t say ‘fine’ and now they have to think about you to see if you’re kidding or not which should hopefully make them think about asking in the future
Yeah pretty much. Most of us don’t even ask.
if they’re a friend we will often ask but then we want a genuine reply (which isn’t always given)
Yes. Among friends it’s different.
Wow

If anyone asks me how I’m doing my bog standard response is “Fucking terrible but apart from that I’m OK.”

That’s the idea.
It doesn’t work most of the time. I got a talking to from one manager. That one kinda entertained me.
