Man, how many "hey, how are you"s do you think are ending in a black eye? What ridiculous hyperbole.

Yeah, some of the responses in this thread I hope are just jokes. Asking someone how their day is going is bare minimum social behavior that should carry zero risk of anything.

I am guessing you have not struggled with social anxiety

[johnnyanmac]

Only takes one. Humans are trained to remember the pain more than the typical. That's my point.

Well, keep going with asking people "how are you" until someone gives you a black eye. Then you can stop.

I would assume that before that happens your natural death would come first.
