It just feels so awkward

"Oh yeah, (insert name) says hello"

"ok cool" or alternatively, "tell them I said hi back"

WHAT IS THAT

Most Bioware quests.

 

[Courage]

It's not awkward, I just have terrible memory.

 

[SOME-MIST]

I always tell him/her I said hello from a mutual friend.

I just did a couple weeks ago. I was at a party with one of my friends that I grew up with but haven't seen in the last couple of years. Just started a new job a year ago and I'm working with someone who he went to college with and hung out with a continual basis because of his roommates (she used to hang at his place all the time) At the party, he asked me if I was still working at the same place and if I knew "so-and-so" and to "tell her I said hi"... which I did know her but didn't get to see her too often.

It was actually pretty nice because me and the girl in question didn't really talk often but I told her and it spawned a new friendship in the office

 

[Rivitur]

Well sometimes it turns into:

Me: so and so said hi
Them: oh how is so and so? Did they do what not?
Me: idk
Them: rant about that person

 

[dekline]

I'll do it if someone asks. I've even asked others to do it. It's no big deal.

 

[sadceph2001]

someone please tell terrisus I said 'hello, terrisus'.

 

[N0VAM0D]

Most Bioware quests.

 

[Cbajd5]

All of you tell everyone you know I said hi.

No wait, tell everyone you can I said hello. Even if you don't know them.

EVERYONE MUST KNOW I SAID HELLO

 

[The Technomancer]

Eh, I do if I remember?

 

[maxcriden]

Currygan, maxcriden says you are ugly and smell bad and he hopes you get gonorrhea.

that son of a bitch will pay for it. Tell him I'm going to eradicate his ass from existence, thanks man

Oh thanks a bunch Escape Goat REAL NICE

 

[Always-honest]

Sometimes, i don't forget and will pass on the hello.

 

[Later Alligator]

tell sloan i said whatup

 

[dejay]

I jokingly say to the first person "I'm not gonna remember that".

But I'm not joking!

 

[Krejlooc]

That's what I thought this topic was about lol

 

[John Kowalski]

Of course i always do it, what kind of question is that?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I only do it when I try to hook up the two people involved.

 

[Casimir]

Admit it. You always promise that you will, but you never do.

Saying I don't would be lying. I would say I was sorry I couldn't affirm your rudeness, but that would also be a lie.

 

[hipbabboom]

A friend and i have a running joke like this and he swears he forgets and comes up with a different reason why he forgot ever single time

 

[Grinchy]

When I'm asked to do this, it becomes my life's mission to make sure that the hello arrives to its destination. I'm like a hobbit taking a ring to a volcano.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I almost always forget, unless it's over the Internet.

 

[Henchmen21]

Oh thanks a bunch Escape Goat REAL NICE

maxcriden, Currygan said he loves you and wants to have your babies.

 

[mdubs]

Do it all the time, not sure what is so awkward about it, you are all some Larry David motherfuckers.

Samesies

 

[-COOLIO-]

"oh yeah, and jim says to go fuck youself"

or was it hello?

 

[maxcriden]

maxcriden, Currygan said he loves you and wants to have your babies.

Nice try, Henchmen21! He and I are both engaged, thankfully not to each other.

 

[Two Words]

Do it all the time, not sure what is so awkward about it, you are all some Larry David motherfuckers.

It's not so much that it's awkward for me. I just don't want to do it.

 

[Neidii]

Yeah, I never tell them back. Such a pointless thing to say in the first place.

 

[soco]

i nearly always tell people, and i think it's always been a good thing.

 

[bobawesome]

Naw. I say it but usually end up feeling like a boob after.

 

[Bradach]

The Danes do this a lot. My wife is danish and her parents are always telling us who is saying hi to us.

I think it's pointless. Drop them a text if you want to say hello...

 

[terrisus]

someone please tell terrisus I said 'hello, terrisus'.

Hey terrisus, sadceph2001 said 'hello, terrisus'

 

[Alphahawk]

I tell them more often than not.

Why you gotta be so heartless Gaf?

 

[terrisus]

Naw. I say it but usually end up feeling like a boob after.

That's how I read this >.>

 

[Tesseract]

i always do

that's why i'm gold and you're not

 

[xandaca]

I'm failing to see the problem here, despite being as socially awkward as they come. It just lets someone know that a friend is thinking of them, a quick and easy way of acknowledging another person without a specific reason or occasion.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I always try to find as many people who i know are going to see some one and tell them each individually to say hi for me to the host.

My dream is that they all approach the host and say "Not Spaceghost says hi by the way!" all at the same time, and it's incredibly awkward for everyone involved.

 

[bobawesome]

That's how I read this >.>

I wish. :<

 

[Jaffaboy]

"Tell your girlfriend I said hi!"

 

[Blue Lou]

It's like that Russell Howard joke.. (rude humour)

Spoiler

As I went out on a first date last night, my dad said to me "Give her one from me son" with a thumbs up and a grin.

It was going really well - dinner was good, she laughed at my jokes, she was beautiful, and then we went back to hers...

I don't think I'll be seeing her again though, after shouting "that's from my dad!" as I shot my load into her.

[Quick]

Half the time I do.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

Yeah, I never tell them back. Such a pointless thing to say in the first place.

It's so the person knows they're sometimes in the other person's thoughts, it's about as pointless as any social gesture.

 

[sadceph2001]

Hey terrisus, sadceph2001 said 'hello, terrisus'

thanku.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Of course, fuck those lazy asses.

 

[breadtruck]

Admit it. You always promise that you will, but you never do.

I might have once or twice. But yeah, it never happens.

 

[WickedCobra03]

I have forgotten, yes. But I will definitely bring it up if I can fit it in conversation or bring that person up for whatever reason I will throw it in there. I mean I don't say "Hello, "so-and-so says Hi" as my greeting though right off the bat.

 

[Sami+]

If I remember I'll say it.

Most of the time I forget.

I'm glad it's not just me.

Most awkward thing was when my mom comes up to me and asks "why didn't you tell me Leila said hello?"

"uh. She says hello."

 

[Wilsongt]

Always forget.

 

[JDSN]

It's not so much that it's awkward for me. I just don't want to do it.
