Is “good morning” a wish or a greeting?
Are people wishing you “good morning” to better your morning? Maybe in the hopes that you don’t go postal from the crazy commute, the ungodly hour, the allergens attacking your body and the fact that your Egg McMuffin…the only thing you fucking wanted this goddamn morning, just one Egg McMuffin…was runny. And you didn’t goddamn find out about it until you were at work and glaring as the white ooze dripped onto your desk. Huh? Is that why you wished me “good morning” you perky asshole? Well, I got your “good morning”! I got it right here!! Let’s talk about the morning, shit-head! Let’s talk about muffins and benadryl and….huh? Oh.
You were just dropping off a bagel for me? Oh. Well, thank you. Um. Good morning to you, too.
** – yeah, I know its not spelled right.
The Process 
People always say “morning” to me. So I say, “Yes, it is morning” I don’t know why they need to check with me to see if it is morning, it is clearly before noon.
I always say it as a wish for the other person to have a good morning. I figure, if mornings always suck for me, then by damn somebody better be using the good part of the morning that was redistributed from my fricken day.
And then I kick them in the nuts for being so fukkin’ happy.
Some people were reared in cultures where a smile and a “Good morning!” is merely good manners…
hehe…. she said “reared”.
Srsly though, I think we all get the concept….but those of us who are not morning people don’t necessarily appreciate such things.
And honestly, I am not the worst one in my house. Mr. Man has *legendary* morning grumps.
Not that he’s mean or anything. But don’t try to wake him. And (if you are me) get out of bed quickly if you have things to do. Otherwise, you are likely to be pinned down in true “my teddy bear” fashion.
Coleen’s the same way. Talking to her before she’s started her second cup of coffee is kinda dangerous.
Just one non-runny Egg McMuffin, and she wouldn’t give it to me!
ST ftw!
YOU get the reference! Thank god, I thought I had lost my magic touch.
I founded it.
I think it’s a wish. Wishing the other person to have a good morning. That way, the other person is less likely to kill me, right?
Maybe so. I am not violent in the morning but, I like to be left alone until such time as I’ve had some coffee.
I sometimes wish I was more of a perky morning person. It would certainly make getting up and going to the gym a ton easier.
I’m not perky in the morning.
My sons, I can deal with in the morning. The younger one is a morning person and the older can be, and when he’s not, he’s just a slug.
My daughter, on the other hand, is also not a morning person, and I can’t deal with her need for someone to gently walk her through the first part of the morning when I’m barely there myself. 😛 Thank God for her daddy….
