Anyone else here that doesn't answer people that only write "hi" to initiate a conversation?

I always feel like they try to put me in charge of leading the convo. You wouldn't call someone and just say Hi, now would you?

@Alice Alice, I'm perfectly capable of social interactions. I was talking about a special case where I get dozens of messages from faint acquaintances who like to chat, but couldn't come up with a conversation starter and let me do the work.

@Droid-on-Fire
Hi!
What's up?

@Droid-on-Fire hello there!

@Floydian hi

@Floydian just dandy. You?

I also dislike this - just skip the formalities and ask what you want.. or put hi and your question in the same message.

I like to mess with them by texting back with a question.. something like: "hello! I didnt hear from you in a while. How are you on this fine morning?"
