Recently, many articles (including this one) on HN have provoked one reaction from me : "Um, yeah. What's so special about this? Maybe if you look harder, you're wrong"
I always ask back, "How are you doing?", and have always received a smile and a "Good, thank you" in response - never offense.
Maybe if you didn't lie to the cashier at Target and told them what you didn't find, you would notice that some people might go out of their way to help you.
Have a good one? If we start being so literal about everything in English, we're going down a very dangerous road.
It's funny that the author is writing on the topic of "caring", but himself comes across as cynical and overtly negative.
