[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people aren't expecting a greeting, and they're wrapped up in their own thoughts (or headphones or whatever). A lot of neighbors walk past me while I'm with my kid at the bus stop, and if I say "Mornin'," I get ignored/not heard more than half the time. If I say, "Good morning!" with a smile, people tend to notice more and reply pleasantly. All of which is to say, people may not be hearing you or processing your words. Be clearer (enunciation, volume), and/or don't sweat it.[/quote] It's hard for me to believe that when someone is looking away from me, looks at me in response to my "Good morning," and then looks away without response or smile, they haven't noticed me. It certainly appears that their decision to ignore me was deliberate. The overall impression given off is as if the person has said "I do not want to respond; I am too busy with my own thoughts to take the time for social niceties for YOU."[/quote]
