    There’s an easy solution for that. Genuinely tell them how your day is going and include details. The people who wanna know will get a kick out of your candor and the others will know better than to ever fucking ask you again.

      Found the German.

      Pro tip: never ask a German “how’s it going?” They don’t see that sentence as a greeting, it is a legitimate question that they will answer in excruciating detail.

        I’m actually the descendent of Polish Jews. But with the friendliness of a German!

        Huh… That can’t possibly be what I meant to say…

        Also, I reject your pro-tip! If I ask someone how they’re doing or how it’s going, I’m genuinely hoping for an open and honest answer.

        How is it a greeting ? You don’t need to be german to tought a question is meant to be answered.
