People who say Hiya should be shot

    There is a girl who works with me, she's our bookkeeper, and she is on the phone quite a bit throughout the day. She constantly says "Hiya", and it is driving me round the bend :mad:

    Another person in this shambles of an office starts internal emails with Hiya. :mad::mad:

    Is there anything that can be done to rid us of the plague of such a stupid salute?

    Is this the kind of stuff that occupies your mind during the working day?

    No wonder the country is fucked.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,662 ✭✭✭jaffa20


    I say it all the time. Alot more friendlier than Hi or Hello!

    Salutations, Mr Pumblechook.

    I hope you will not take offence but may I suggest there are worse ways to be greeted or acknowledged?

    I refer you to my colleague of old, who upon entering the place of work would regale us with a hearty bellow "alright, c**ts?"

    Yours Sincerely.

    Mr oh ESQ

    Hiya,
    I think you should be dragged around behind a car until you realise what is and is not important.

    Hiya all,

    Nope have no problem using it at all


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭cosmicfart


    I concur completely. Everyone should have one of those gob stopper thing ala Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction inserted so that any possible annoying words cant be vocalised.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,605 ✭✭✭OakeyDokey


    Seriously! It's only a greeting, there's far worse things to be said out there than Hiya!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,590 ✭✭✭theteal

    Hmm. I do hope, Mr Gas Giant, that such an insertion is not confused with other eye watering insertions taking place in the aforementioned motion picture?
