Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Then stop lying about it :
"Hey, how you doin'?"
" Everything's bad, as usual, thanks"
Or
"Just as bad as yesterday, thanks, what about you?"
Or
"... next question?"
If it's a client and can't afford to be awkward, just say say
"Just another day"
And if people ask for more details but you don't want to talk about it, just say :
"Just having a bad day"
Or
"Nothing good happened yet"
Or
"Nothing out of the ordinary"
Or just make up your honest but polite answers
Yep OP should get out of their misery cycle by at least sharing a little of the misery they feel. Could be helpful.
If I'm having a crappy day especially at work my answer is "Another day another dollar, how about you? "
I feel like it would be really interesting to see what would happen if everyone started doing this at once, but as it stands it'd just make things more complicated for yourself.
Not at all. I've done this for years and it's not complicated in the least.
Well, I actually do this for real 😅
After the second or third time a coworker (or family member) asks me how I'm doing and gets the "just as bad as usual" response, they just laugh and move on 😂
You must be a hit at parties.
