    I’m sitting in the hospital with my mother and someone does this to me…

    Just Hi…

    Spent too long staring at it trying to decide if they deserved the effort to tell them I can’t help them right now…

    Decided if they couldn’t say what they want, I wasnt going to tell them it’s not going to happen.

      I suspect these intros are intended to get you to confirm your presence before they hit you with the request, assuming that will make it harder to ignore the request once you’ve shown yourself

        This is why it annoys me so much. No, I don’t blanket agree to interact with you. If it’s something short, I’ll answer immediately, but if it’ll take me longer, it’ll be later. Someone I worked with was a monster for this.

        Hiya.

        Hello?

        Just say what you want ffs. This could have been over 15 minutes ago if you didn’t insist on real time interaction via this asynchronous communication medium!
