Wow, it is a frightening of this site when a poster can't tell the difference between parody and genuine bitching. Apparently nothing is over the top here.

Hi. I like you.

I'm the OP. What is the waah waah poster talking about?

OP, I generally agree and find your post pretty funny. I am the OP of the aggressive smile command from strangers thread--and this is really a different social convention here. Big difference. If you have previously talked with a person and have a mild acquaintance, I think if you use a casual tone it is fine to nod and say: "hey" to a person on school grounds or in an elevator. I think it is weird to not acknowledge a person, especially when it is just the 2 of you standing there.

This one is big at the local check out counters: "Hi, did you find everything you were looking for?" Yes. In spite of the fact there were no salsepeople until I got to the check-out in this bottomless pit of a hellhole store, I found everything I wanted.

Actually it would be kind of interesting if the server at a restaurant greeted me with a big fat "Fuck you, may I take your order", or the stranger in the elevator said to me "Fuck you, what floor do you want?". Can you imagine walking into Nordstrom's shoe department and a salesperson saying "Fuck you, what size are you looking for?" or the teenager behind the Baskin Robbins counter saying "Fuck you, would you like to try our new Tutti-Fruity Avocado Basil and Zoloft flavor?". They've been doing this for years at my local post office and I have to say I look forward to buying stamps now just to have a 'real' encounter with a total stranger.Shit, if I'm going to be annoyed, I want a good reason to be annoyed. Fuck you and have a nice day!

Fuck you very much! Finally a greeting worthy of the DC region. Fuck you and have a great weekend!

Just got off the phone with my 92 year old grammy who greeted me with a big fat "Fuck you-when's the last time you had a mammogram? Is there anything you need? How's my handsome nephew?" Great to know she's getting into the swing of things even at her age.

I like to use the more formal "Asshat! Yeah, you!"" As in "Asshat! Yeah you. Would you like a scone?

As a southern girl who has many NY friends, love your post!

I can't believe OP doesn't get why "Hi" is different than "Smile!" Even after that whole thread. I love parody but this is an epic fail.

I can't believe why posters give a rat's ass if someone says "smile" to them, with all of the rude things people say or do here. Seriously, get over it.

At least you get a "hi". That's better than the I don't see you at all attitude common around these parts.
