Something like this. I really don't like the "how are you doing" line so many people throw out as a greeting. Its worse when they really want an answer and keep repeating the question.

No, that's when someone asks you "How's your hammer hanging?"

I answer honestly as of late.

I used to do that, and it worked. People stopped asking how I was doing.

I just answer with “Good” no matter how I’m feeling. No one really gives a shite about anyone else’s problems and feelings.

My parents front novelty license plate on their RV says this but their marriage is fricking horrible. My dad's been wanting out but he wants to be able to receive communion at mass so he stays miserable in the marriage.

An old retiree came in to my work and the receptionist asked how he was doing and he rambled on and on about every damn ailment and problem he had. Just say "I've been better" and move on.

Old school Catholic. It's burned into his brain. My pops is a good looking guy too and would have no issues dating.

My usual response is usually like "they keep paying me, so I am back for another two weeks" .

I mean if you ask how someone is doing and they tell you... Maybe don't ask the question if you don't want to know .

I once worked in a large office of ethnic Russians... In their culture if you ask how they are doing they tell you, and expect you to do the same, to the point its offensive if you don't. After a bit I came to grow fond of this sort of honesty.

I always say “I’m doing great but the day is young”. One of our bosses always says “if I were any better I’d be you”. Another older boss says “I’m great, I got to say good morning“

I always find being honest about my fibromyalgia flare ups is a grest ice breaker on con calls or just saying high to people in the store.

How are you doing ?

We’re hangin in there. What’s up ?



Don’t ask how they’re doing. You can do that once shite is figured out. Just get straight to what the call is about.

No, the translation is really "I got a lot of crap going on, but I'm not about to tell you about it."
