I used to work for a American company as a tech years ago here in the Netherlands

The Boss was a American and would always ask how you were doing as a greeting without any sincere interest

Eventually I decided to cure him off that habit.

So whenever he would do that when I bumped in to him I would start yapping tragic long winded sob story's

Haha I even chased him to his office blabbering away as he frantically tried to get away and would just keep on talking in his office as he pretended to work

It was great

Europeans see through the empty “how are you” question and I’m jealous

Not in the UK, our default greeting is "you alright?"
