Anyone else getting tired of “How are you?”

robroy:
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 [zb].

THIS! I’ve got to that age now where if I move aside to let someone past or hold a door etc and they don’t say thank you I say ‘you’re very welcome’ loudly. Or ‘thanks to you too’. Politeness is such an incredibly simple concept it baffles me that it can be rare sometimes. As I said in post about life can be so much happier when you’re friendly and warm.
