If you are paging me out of the blue, come to the damned point in the first one or two pages.
That’s it, that’s my peeve.
-
Yeah. Could do without the “hey” or “waves” page. Just say the thing. Or include the thing with the hey or the wave.
ETA: I more exactly mean when I have to wait several minutes for the ask, or have to initiate the “what’s up?” before the ask comes.
-
I mean, if it’s a friend then just a wave makes sense, of course.
If it’s someone I don’t know very well, or a stranger (especially if I’m staffing), then I know there’s another reason for it, and it feels like the most awkward thing ever to have what amounts to small talk with a customer that just approached you at the service desk.

no one ever greet me
or face the consequences

Engaging with people is scary, I get that. But it’s just as scary to have a stranger page you randomly without knowing who they are or what they want.
“Hi, I’m <short description of who you are> and I <why you are paging>.”
e.g.: Hi, I’m Pavel the Camarilla Toreador and I was looking over your wiki and saw we had some RP hooks in common and wanted to see if you were interested in RP about them.

Maybe a better example, imagine calling up someone you don’t know on the phone and asking them how their day’s been, rather than “hello, I’m <name>, I’m calling for <reason>”.
-
-
And this is why I will let the phone ring and they can text me if they need.

@tsar Hi, have time to chat for a sec?
And then I follow this up by not saying anything again for 30 minutes.

@helvetica this is the most evil thing I’ve read in some time
