[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will pass people in the street who when you smile and say hello, will simply stare back at you, silently, as if you are a martian. Signed someone who has lived on both coasts.[/quote] +1 Many people on the east coast don't say hi even when you say hi to them. There is just this blank stare. It's the weirdest thing. [/quote] My experience was pretty much the exact opposite. I moved to DC from Palo Alto, and was blown away that everyone I passed on the street in DC seemed to say, "Hi--how you doin?" I got into the habit of doing it, too. When I went back to Palo Alto, I swear the first lady I said "How you doin?" to on the street called the police on me. I am a white woman, so it was not a race or gender thing--it just freaked her the hell out.[/quote][/quote]
