When someone says "hello" you should at least acknowledge their existence and say "hello" back! I hate people who don't do this. It's rude people.


Rude!

I'm not looking for a conversation. I'm just being nice. I'm a nice guy and I like to say hello to people and smile.

I hate grumps and mean people.

Howdy!

Try moving south, I love to see people from the north get all flustered walking down the streets here. Lots of people say hi and they aren't used to it. :)

I don't think anyone is really rejecting you when they don't say hello, at least not usually. Often times, they just don't hear me. And then I'm standing there like a dumbass.

Also, I'm not good at remembering names. And "Hello! ...You!" doesn't sound right when I say it outloud.

Would you rather they put on their robe and wizard hat?


Seriously, how annoying is it for a cowirker you avoid to keep annoying you with some giddy "hello" greeting when in reality you are wishing upon them kidney stones?

If someone says hi, I'll say hi. But I find it irritating when people say "hi how are you doing" - as if they really care about my emotional, physical, and financial status. :p

lol, I thought you were talking about on a phone. We just don't even pick up our home phone anymore because we get so many crap calls. Surprisingly, few are actually telemarketers, but tones come from places wanting money or random services we've used in the past.
