Does this annoy you too?

Nobody really asks me that. Women I communicate with are too busy online scrounging for simps to serve as their finsubs.

What do you get out of communicating with/ funding these parasites?

I don't really see why it would be annoying for someone to be polite and while most people may in fact only be asking out of some presumed obligation, others are genuinely concerned about the other individual's well being. Now if it was said with a sarcastic tone or a taunting tone or something, then I would find it somewhat annoying but not really worth feeling like the rest of my day was ruined or anything.

Agreed.
I don't know why so many Aspies make a problem out of this. It's just another way of saying "hello".

It's like when I was listening to an audiobook about an autistic girl, before they were going out her sister said "I'll be two minutes", so the autistic girl literally counted to 120, then went and started yelling abuse at her sister for lying to her, as the sister was more than 120 seconds.
I mean, living with someone that literal would admittedly get on my nerves. You don't really know how long it's going to take to get ready, so saying "I'll be two minutes" isn't exactly a truth or a lie, it's just a figure of speech, meaning "I won't be long". Even if they were far longer getting ready than I assumed, I still wouldn't say they told a lie. I'd probably just yell "hurry up!" or something, if it was literally getting too long.
Like one time when I was in a restaurant, I asked for a glass of water when the waiter brought the meals to our table, and he said, "certainly, two secs" and went off to get me a glass of water. I didn't stare at my watch and go "wait, he's been longer than two seconds, he's a liar! He lied to me! How could he?" Instead I just started eating my dinner knowing he was coming back with a glass of water for me, which he did, probably about three minutes later. By then my mind was on the conversation I was having with the others at my table.
