i have become my own worst nightmare.

something you have to know about me is my number one pet peeve in the office (anywhere, really) is when someone corrects me when i say "good morning" instead of "good afternoon" or vice versa. for example"

me (answering my phone): Good morning, this is Sarah!"
annoying dweeb: "Um, actually it's afternoon".

SHUTUP! does it matter? i don't REALLY care if you have a good morning, afternoon or life for that matter. i was just trying to be nice. excuse me for not noticing that the clock moved from 11:59AM to 12:03PM.

i know in reality this is not a huge deal but i don't understand the thinking behind correcting me. you are clearly just trying to be annoying and thus very deserving of this wrath.

but just now, one of our subcontractors who i never see came in and when he addressed me he said "good evening, Sarah!" and what did i say?

"actually, it's still afternoon"

aaaaaargh!!!

What does it say that I usually correct myself?
