What if I just want to say hi to start a conversation, and I don't have some ulterior motive? Or perhaps I'm waiting to gauge the other person's mood or something else before asking them something?
What a weird, weird thing for this person to get a stick up their arse about. I'm sure they're really fun to talk to :-/
This made me realize, talking to people is like forcefully inserting you thoughts into their brain without their consent. People should just stop talking in general IMO.
Well, I usually take my time to reply. It's not my fault, when people then need to wait until they cut to the chase. That doesn't bother me. It's their problem.
