I like to stick with a simple "hello" so I don't have to keep track of time (e.g. during meetings across timezones or even when I'm so scatterbrained that day that I lose track of local time) and it's also less presumptuous.
I always greet with 'morning', no matter the time.
The worst is being corrected.
“Good morning, how are you?”
looks at watch “it’s 12:01pm so it’s good afternoon”
"Then I take it back."
The worst is being corrected.
"Good morning."
"Pfft... not really."
People have accepted that 'morning' is my standard greeting regardless of the time of day. It's even become a thing everyone says within my close friend group.
If its a group of people I just mutter bunch of things: "hi" "morning" "happy birthday" "merry christmas" (doesn't matter what day or time)
As a teenager I'd sometimes just randomly sprinkle in complete nonsense as a greeting, like 'wtf is oatmeal', or 'I speak for the trees', and hardly anyone noticed
Especially if there's a lineup of people waiting to shake hands. "Hello. How are you. Happy Easter. Gondor calls for aid."
Oh hey, I do the same! Is it 5pm, 5am, 11:51am? Morning!
Same here! I was already prone to saying "Morning!" anytime, as is... but after working nights for years, it has become permanent. I stopped trying to figure out what time of day it is when greeting people, so it's always morning lol
But I rarely say, "Have a good morning". It's normally just "Have a good day"
