more often than not. if i make eye contact w/ some person of the street or elsewhere, i always say hello or smile or something |
dab   | | posted 17-Aug-2008 8:42am |
It was rather common when I lived in Montana. Not so much elsewhere. |

Almost all of the time ............ Its a cultural thing in Jamaica, people will say hello to you all the time here, and you dont know them |

Very often. Every time I go out, people frequently smile and or say hi. I love this survey btw. |

Sometimes - especially while on trails in parks. I'm friendlier in a park. Sometimes women don't want to make eye contact with ME -- ya know, alone on a trail with no one else around. Sometimes people have dogs and that's a sort of icebreaker cuz the dogs come up to you. |

 Some of the time, occasionally.

not often, but in certain situations; for example while hiking |

Hello - occasionally. a smile - a lot. |
cloudhugger  | | posted 18-Aug-2008 1:01am |
Almost all of the time. It actually startles me sometimes, and it doesn't matter what kind of a mood I'm in, where I'm at or who I am with. In fact, some of the friends I am out with think it is odd. |
| LindaH |
The smiles startle you, or just the 'hello'? |
| cloudhugger | | (reply to LindaH) posted 18-Aug-2008 1:05am |
The fact that strangers look me in the eye for one. All ages, kids, oldies...and they smile and say hello. This just started with me about 5 years ago. Before I would try to instigate hellos or smiles and sometimes I even got dirty looks, but all of a sudden I'm getting acknowledgement everywhere I go. |
| LindaH |
With me, it seems the opposite. I used to be really quiet, almost uncomfortable when strangers made small talk. Now I chat with strangers all the time, and when someone doesn't respond, I wonder if I'm making them uncomfortable. |

Hi sweetie!
it has been a while, huh. a few crazy months here.
I'm not in Colorado any longer. back in wisconsin.
wish we would have gotten an opportunity to meet before i left...but, i do know that colorado isn't going anywhere.
hope you're doing well, and feeling well |
| Iseult | | posted 18-Aug-2008 9:34am |
It happens here in Waterloo. When I'm walking in my neighborhood or by old people. I never got greeted by strangers when I lived in Toronto, and when I did it was usually by dirty guys. |

Sometimes - I must often come across as quite rude, because people say hello in a friendly way and I just gawp at them - I don't mean to seem standoffish, but usually I'm walking about in my own little world and a hello shocks me out of it. |

Often. Southern hospitality. |

Never, not once that I can think of. I'm really surprised so many people say they do get hellos. Then again maybe I'm not so friendly looking. |
| jettles | | posted 18-Aug-2008 10:57pm |
i think that it is a matter of how you carry yourself at the moment that you run into someone on the street |

If I'm out for any decent time, say to the beach, rather than one block to the mini mart at 3am, about half the time. |

i heard about the snow! ya' know, where i have just come from, the snow hadn't completely melted from this past winter as of yet, up there on the mountains. now, i hear that it snowed more than just a simple lil' dusting on those mountains. strange indeed.

Wonder if those Democrats will come buzzing about up here? I am a Democrat myself and it would be cool to have them come up here to Grand County but oh there are really clean Taxi Cabs and Buses inside out and Denver is cleaner than any city because the red carpet is rolled out for tourists at this time should clean my car inside out. |

It happens a lot... and I'm the factor that determines if it happens.
A lot of times, I feel withdrawn and I don't make much eye contact in public. When this is the case, no one makes contact with me. If I'm looking up, people make eye contact and smile at me all the time. |

i left colorado on friday aug. 8th a little after 6 a.m, and got to wisconsin saturday morning, (aug. 9th), a hair before 4 a.m |

Well then.... welcome back to the midwest! You must have missed the smog and humidity. |
| justjulie | | (reply to they) posted 27-Aug-2008 8:20am |
thanks! i missed the greenness of it all, got here just in time for i'm already seeing trees change around here. and yeah...the humidity does wonders for my hair  |
| they | | (reply to justjulie) posted 27-Aug-2008 8:21am |
Luckily, my hair is never really affected by it. I'm just sick of sweating. |
| justjulie | | (reply to they) posted 27-Aug-2008 9:02am |
i never noticed the humidity and my hair until as of lately. my hair has changed texture a bit of the past few years, a LOT of silver...refuse to call it gray for gray doesn't sparkle anyway, it's the silver that has a mind of it's own and becomes a bit unruly.
i'm sick of sweating too! holy crap. i've forgotten what it's like...to get out of the shower and be all nice and dry, but by the time you get to the other room, you're all covered in droplets again, like you never even bathed, or even dried off...blech. did not miss that at all. |
