    do other countries do this too?

    Germans do this, in spite of there being a 70% chance that people will be halfway honest and answer something like “meh” or “it can’t be helped”

      OK, thanks. And yah, the response is not meant to always be, “fine”. If you’re having a bad day, you can tell me that without going into all the details. I usually want to know when that’s the case so I can adjust how I talk to you.
