Yeah, it's amazing how many PPs don't have the imagination to assume she'd be meeting someone like her ex-H's AP.

Them: Hi! Nice to meet you.

You: Hi, how are you?

I assumed this —- or meeting the person hired to replace her or downsize her office. So when you have to be polite but what you really mean is “I had hoped to go my whole life without meeting you.”

"Your reputation proceeds you."

"I've heard so much about you."

"Nice to finally be formally introduced."

"I can finally put a face to the name."

"Ah, so you're the C U Next Tuesday who messages my husband all night."

Precedes.

Why are you so anxious about this meeting?

Maybe she’s doing a meet and greet with Trump.

Oh, are we only supposed to say it if we mean it? I still say it even though I can't stand some (most) people. *shrugs*

What does it say in the US constitution that you're required by law to say 'Nice to meet you" to every person you meet? Just give them a stink eye and say 'Hello".

Hi Jane, I'm Elaine.

Your reputation precedes you. Allow me to elaborate.
