“Give them a hug for me”, “Tell her I said hi” etc - Do you ever actually relay the hug or message?

My DH does all the time and I find it annoying. He's always telling me about the people that ask about me on phone calls or in conversation. I never reciprocate.

He is a really nice person, though, so I guess that's what being considerate does

Yes, I do.

And you are not.

I do. I don’t give them an actual hug or kiss from them but I will tell them and say they said hi or that they asked how they were doing.

I deliver the specific message but don't do the actual hugging.

You find it annoying to hear that people your husband speaks to wish you well? (because that's what it means).

I give a hug if we are hugging friends already. One arm hug if we’re not.

Lol

Only when children are involved.

Sure.

I saw Larla today, she’s doing great, and said to say hi to you.

[Anonymous]

If I remember to do so. Which is probably less than half the time.

[Anonymous]

If it’s someone I’m close to I absolutely hug a bit extra and say “Oh and this is one Jean said to give you”

[Anonymous]

I always convey a verbal message, and if someone says, "Give 'em a hug from me," I say, "Larla says Hi!"

I think it goes along with telling the second person about your interaction with the first person.

I can't imagine telling DW "I ran into Larla at CVS. She said they're buying a boat." And not adding, "She said to say hi."

In fact, I've probably said "She said to say hi" a few times when Larla didn't actually.

I usually do, yes. Just this morning when I dropped my dad at the airport, he said, "Tell <DH's Name> I love him.

And I did.
