Meh…. That was just an opener because I can’t just be like you do what I asked as soon as you say hello. It’s more like hey before you go into a 30 min conversation about the snow being slippery can you answer this question then continue…
I do it all the time. Normally because I don’t want to be thinking about something I have to say for an hour before I say it. If you want him to be rude and to the point let him know.
It’s basically like saying hey how are you, don’t really care but it’s what you are supposed to say
