Comment on Is it asshole behavior to hate someone for saying "Hi, how are you?"

I don’t see how that should upset anyone. It’s meant to be a polite generic question. Even if you’ve had a bad day, you don’t have to divulge any information, just simply say ‘alright’, and they most likely won’t ask you any more.
Where I’m from, “How are you doing?” really is meant to be a polite way of engaging with a stranger at a cash register or other public customer facing job.
It’s not like they said anything offensive, they’re just trying to engage a little polite conversation. Which you are most certainly not obligated to engage in if you don’t want.
For me, I’ll usually answer with whatever generic crap is going on that day, like “Man it’s cold outside yo, can you turn the heat up out there?”

how so suspicious?
btw: lena wasn’t even following her, she walked up to her, then left. this other girl frequently harasses her.

After reading over yet again, maybe ‘suspicious’ wasn’t the best word. Still sounds awkward, but nothing I’d think people should get too upset about.
Every situation is different though, and there’s crazies out there that will just as soon shoot a person for knocking on the wrong door.
Sigh, I’m getting more and more disappointed with humanity by the day…

Doesn’t seem awkward to me, most people say “How are you?” when they see me.
I have photos of the conversation in other posts, Ash is literally insane.
