Yeah, "Bob says hi, he was asking after you" is something I have said myself.
Say hi to your mom and them, we are having a potluck on sunday.
Gossip networking is a real communication protocol.
But the acks take ages
I like to pass it along. It’s nice to let people know that others are thinking of them.
I try
...d so hard, and got so faaaaaarrrrr
But in the end it doesn't even matter
try'd
If I remember I say it, but I don’t make an effort to remember. If the person wanted to say hi that badly, they can call the recipient themselves.
Yup. I give it like 30% chance of me remembering.
I do it when I’m asked, and sometimes even ask people to say hi/send a hug if I’m with someone and they’re talking to a mutual friend or family member on the phone.
Sometimes you just want to tell them “hey, you matter to me :)” even if we’re both busy or there is no need to catch up on what’s been going on in our lives (and a quick hi is enough).
i don't think i've ever remembered to pass on a "hi" to anyone
I usually run with "I saw [insert name] not to long ago and they said hi"
It honestly depends on the people and the situation.
Say I know my mom likes A and isn't crazy about B. I'm hanging around with both of them and both tell me to say "hi" to mom. I might not say B sent he a greeting because she doesn't like them, OR I might pass it along so she'll start to like them.
Sure I both request it and do it for others. My partner and I have many mutual friends that we'll see independently so a not-uncommon interaction goes like "I'm getting lunch with the Blahblahs today." "Oh how fun, I have to work through lunch today. Enjoy, and please tell the Blahblahs hi and that we're looking forward to seeing the concert with them on Friday." We're all very busy but most people like to hear that a friend is randomly thinking well of them.
I would if my ADHD let me remember 😭
I will pass it along, but I'm autistic and I'm trying to err on the side of caution.
I do too, but I’m also autistic.
I did until mobile phones became the norm, now I ask if they need her number to call. It made sense before phones were everywhere and you didn't make it to see everyone, but send a text yourself. My name isn't SMS.
Ugh, the idea of a family member giving out my number to acquaintances is hell. Stick to the hi's.
Most people already have the number, the point I make in asking is to show them that I don't need to be their messenger. You can call my mother/father/grandmother yourself. If they're asking about my wife/kids, I'll just say "Sure" and then forget because I'm apparently a goldfish. Most people who say "Tell them hi" are my parent's and grandparent's friends anyway. I don't give out a true friend's number, I agree that is not good.
No.
