I've come to a decision of the utmost importance. I have decided that I will no longer hand out friendly greetings! I've had my lump full of non-responses, the blank stare or the switch the eyes somewhere else trick!
Why should I give my friendly "Hello", "Hi" or "How are you?" away to people who don't give a damn? Why should I continue to give my beautiful-gap-toothed-a non-committal-I'm-Just-being-courteous-I-don't-want-to-be-your-best-friend-forever smile?!
It is absolutely mind boggling to me how another person who may only know you by sight or even as I mentioned in a previous blog, you're passing in a hallway, or riding in an elevator together, not respond with a mutual nod of the head, non-committal smile or grimace or mumbled syllable!
So no more freebies. I will keep my greetings to myself, and I won't even venture an unveiled look in either direction. This said, doesn't mean I'm going to be anti-social. I won't let other people spoil me for others who reach out and accept a smile or warm greeting that will brighten both of our day!
