Came here to say this. I purposely avoid this question, instead opting for, "Hi!" because while I DO want to politely wish the other person a salutation, I don't care how they are, so I feel it would be fake to ask.

When they wave you first in merging traffic when they have the right of way. Don’t be nice, be predictable

Saying “no offense” and then saying something offensive anyway 😅
Also when people ask “how are you?” but clearly don’t care about the answer it’s more habit than actual politeness.

Saying “we should totally hang out sometime” with zero intention of ever doing it.

'Annoying' is a strong word, but I've never liked it when people apologize for something they didn't do as an expression of support.
"My dog died last night."
"Oh, I'm sorry that happened to you."
"Why? Did you do it?"
I get that they're empathizing with me, but an apology implies responsibility. You can just acknowledge that it's a sad or difficult time to convey support and that'd be just fine.
