View submission: What’s the weirdest “unwritten rule” everyone just follows?
is that really a weird rule? it feels like just an extension of poop is gross and people don't want to be near it.
anyway to answer your question tho people saying "good morning" = hello. like why would a morning that is good mean hello?

"What do you mean? Do you mean to wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"

“good morning” is short for “i wish you a good morning” acknowledging a persons presence/arrival in good faith, similar to hello.
Similar: “goodbye” is short for “God be with you”, conveys a wish for divine protection, guidance, or blessings upon someone as they depart. It reflects a sentiment of care, goodwill, and hope for safety, particularly in times when travel or separation was more dangerous or uncertain.
