They’ll kill you for saying hi on tumblr but we must stay hi higher than them

They’re on Reddit saying texting “hi” is low iq and gives people the ick and that’s why they got ghosted. They don’t let u say hi no more….. we’re in a loneliness epidemic bc everybody is a weirdo about every little thing im cracking up

If you say "hi" and that's it you sound like you don't give a shit. Why would I want to talk to someone who won't even introduce themselves properly? Make an effort or suffer your loneliness epidemic.

You people are crazy . You’re just crazy. This isn’t a normal world anymore

It's poor netiquette. If someone sent you a letter in the mailbox that just said "hi" would that not drive you insane?

I would send hello ^.^ back ….. and feel warm inside

I would tear it into pieces with my hands.

Who the fuck are you?

Fuck you for the anxiety you gave me from getting a letter from a name and address I don’t recognize.

Fuck you for the time you made me waste having to open that letter.

Fuck you for the complete bullshit feeling of finding out that you literally just wrote “hi” and expected that to communicate anything or resolve anything.

I don’t know your stupid douchebag ass, and I don’t want to. Fuck all the way off.

I’m here all pissed off just from imagining that hypothetical. It’s nothing short of disgusting that SOME shitheads think that this is acceptable behavior.

You need to be euthanized

Did y'all like, know, that it's incredibly weird to start up a novel right at answering the phone? It's a good way to get accidentally flagged as a telemarketer or something.

You say hi. You start with hi in a conversation. DMs and similar are conversation areas. This isn't even about emails and letters.

People are out here ready to tear apart some stranger in the street for saying hi to you and y'all wonder why you're alone 😭

Stepping up to a stranger on the street, yelling “hi” at them, then standing there in silence staring at them makes you a creep.

please don't say just hello in chat

Web chats are asynchronous. By the time the other person even sees your meaningless “hi”, you may be AFK or asleep.

You wouldn’t just call someone, say “HI”, then sit in silence and make the other person ask you who you are. No, you say “This is [name], calling you about [topic].” within the first few seconds.

You wouldn’t just mail someone a letter in an envelope, just to write “hi”, and make the other person send you a reply to ask you who you are. No, you put your whole message right there in that letter.

Even in real life, you wouldn’t step up to a stranger and blurt out “HI”, then stand there grinning like a creep and staring right into their eyes to pressure the other person to ask you who you are. No, you start the conversation up with an ice-breaker, like a compliment, the question you actually want to ask, or just a rhetorical small-talk question.

This isn’t demanding you to “start a novel”. This is telling you to actually start a conversation like a normal fucking human being can. This is basic manners.

You people are terminally self-centered and have no respect for the time, social battery, and boundaries of others.

P.S.: On a similar note to “No hello”, here’s “Don’t ask to ask”:
