I’m thinking of replying with this:

I’m trying to decide how much irritation my manager can handle.
Show threadSpaceNoodleJan 8
Great! Start with this, and slowly escalate every week or two until they stop perstering you.
Show threadEager EagleJan 8
Idk, they might be into that shit
Show threadMinnesotaGoddamJan 9
Double it every day
Show threadFrostyPolicyJan 8
I truly hate this. At work I’ve told everyone that if they just send a “hello” message it will be ignored. I have things to do other then going twenty rounds of “hello” before getting into the actual subject.
Show threadChozoJan 8
Good afternoon, Frosty.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“No.”

Show threadwibbleJan 9
Well, they just did. Could say that it’s $1/question then charge them $2 after answering their actual question
Show threadEager EagleJan 8

send them this

nohello.net/en/

no hello

bitte sagen Sie nicht nur

The kind of people who do that can’t be bothered to read the link, either. Alas.

I missed it, but it’s a different one
Show threadjjjalljsJan 8

I’ve sent this to many coworkers.

I wanted to introduce a jar where every time you sent a useless “hello” message you had to put double whatever you put in last time (starting at $1). People are empty headed idiots maybe losing +$1000 will wake them up.

This person was so passionate about wasting time with introduction messages that they paid a recurring domain renewal to make their point.
Show threadAlmaccaJan 9
Worth it.

It’s a delicious type of petty hatred and I love it.

Put a trigger warning on this jfc

“Good morning

Did you know that you can send a greeting and the actual body of the request in the same message?

If you waste my time again I will scream.

Yours faithfully, NABDad”

Jfc you just do both at the same time.

“Hey, I’m reaching out with regard to ticket 27472. I’ll need to remote into your device. You’ll see a notification that it’s happening. I just wanted to give you a heads up that the notification is expected behavior. Let me know if you have any questions!”

One message.

Do work.

“Hey again, the .zip is benign. Thanks for reaching out! Feel free to open it.”

They respond “thanks sorry I was at lunch”

“👍”

Never speak again.

Reminds me of the old MSN web browser that would say this to you when you logged in.

Don't ask to ask, just ask

- can I ask you a question?

- you just did. Have a good day.

Show threadAdulated_AspersionJan 9

In Teams, use your pedantic BS pleasantry if you absolutely must.

But then use [CTRL] + [Enter] to start a new line and type out your message or request.

And while I am at it… stop randomly calling people. Set a meeting or ping / text it.

Is 12:45 PM 00:45 in normal digital time?
Show threadbluesheepJan 9
12:45pm is 12:45 in 24h time.
Show threadGreenKnight23Jan 9

I straight up ignore anyone who does this.

I don’t give a fuck if it’s the CEO.

don’t waste my time.
