Does anyone else get bothered when people Skype message you "hello" and wait for your response before getting to the point? Where do people pick up this bad habit??

These people need to be stopped.

I like saying hey first and wait for a response before I wanna gossip to make sure they aren’t with someone else looking over their shoulder at their laptop.

Mine is “hi”

Hate to be ‘that’ person but there is quite a big cultural element to this, particularly with the teams in India. Global mindset!! Also, have you ever given the people who just say ‘hello’ the feedback that it bothers you? Here’s a concept I only recently learned - you don’t have the right to be upset with someone until you have told them that what they did upset you. You have to give the person the opportunity to either explain why or learn from it. Just allowing yourself to feel upset/annoyed is a waste of energy.

You are definitely right! Was more thinking of people not abroad to be honest (have to pick word battles with posting limits).

I get anxious when people ping me “hey I have a question” with no other details

funny

Just ignore or don’t use Skype

Definitely a pet peeve of mine as well. Last two days I’ve had a manager from another office ping me “hi”, I have yet to respond. I am expecting an email if it’s something urgent

I don’t respond.

I do that . Just because i think it’s polite to greet them wait for a response then get to the point of my message.

Hey art friends, I’m a special needs teacher who also loves to teach art in my class. I’m trying to get familiar with the app Procreate.

Thanks so much.

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions.
