Anyone else getting tired of “How are you?”

TruckDriverBen:
Seriously I must answer this atleast 20x a day. Who the f cares how I am?

Not asking it back anymore unless I genuinely am interested. And if we’re practically strangers, sorry but I’m probably not.

Can we all just say “hi” or “hey” and leave it at that?

It’s what you call politeness and good manners mate, two concepts on the decline these days.
Bad manners is a pet hate of mine.
I’d rather be asked how I am as a formality than be grunted at or ignored by some ignorant ■■■■.
