      Unfortunately you are not allowed to speak in tongues outside of those you were born into.

      Also nice username.

      yea, it’s irritating by way of inconvenience, especially in monocultures like the states, but it isn’t wrong or a “bad” behavior, so go for it.

        As someone that does this…

        People say I’m irritating but endearing.

        So take that as you will.

      Howdy howdy howdy!

      I honestly can’t stop greeting people like this, even though I’ve never stepped foot in a place where it doesn’t snow

      Depends on context.

      This is the same idea as answering the phone with “Talk to me” which is generally from a pompous arrogant character.

      Like “I’m here, what do you have to say?”

      All the people I’ve met who did that also happened to be irritating douchebags. Now whether there is a causal relationship and what is the direction of that relationship, I can’t say.
