Frak!

I'm used to people greeting me with a 'hi' or 'hello'.

not...

'Are you alright'... or in short 'you a'right?' 

It seems to me, a very strange way of greeting someone.

I don't know how to answer that question.

Do I not look alright to you? Should I be thinking of a reason why I don't? Is something wrong with my face? Are you really concerned about my physical and mental well being?

Some people reply a 'you alright' with another 'you alright...' 

That's just weird. 

I keep thinking that next time I should reply with a simple 'yeah', but for some reason that just doesn't seem to come as a spontaneous reaction.
