Rude, sort of rude or forgivable?

If it's anything but 3, then you need to work on adulting.

They don't turn toward you and keep walking without acknowledging you, upset. Do you 1. think the kid is a horrendous brat 2. are a little offended but sort of get it 3. not sweat it, kid is upset.

OP is a 3 who is too immature to have an adult conversation with a 1.

It's actually a little insensitive of the greeter to intrude on someone when they're upset, unless there is enough time to express support.

Some of the responses on here are insane. No, a child who is upset is not rude for failing to respond to a greeting. Neither is an adult.
