I do it all the time in chat. I'll say, Good Morning [name], and wait for them to respond. It seems rude to me to just blurt out what I want. If I walked up to someone in an office whom I don't normally speak with, I would first say, "Hi. How are you?" and wait for them to respond. At the very minimum, I would say hi and wait for them to say, hi back before I tell them what I'm looking for. Same thing over chat.
- JadoJodo 3y agoThe issue is that in-person, you can see the individual and whether they’re going to immediately respond (since, socially, it would be odd to delay in response to someone who is speaking to you in-person); in chat, you have no idea if I’m going to answer in 5 seconds or 5 hours. And the same for me as I wait for your response to my “Good morning to you, as well.”
