Hi

I am not sure why but I find it hilarious when I smile say good morning, hello or hi to someone I don't know and they don't say anything. They saw me. They heard me. They chose to stare and move on. How many people in one day can ignore me? It has become one of my favorite games.

They could at least say "You".

LOL, I've done that kind of stare to people before. I do it more when they interupt my world with their 'hello's' and I'm not sure how to react

Hey Carla,
Do you make funny faces at them after they pass you?

Carla said...

Sometimes I say hi again for good measure and then I Laugh Out Loud. I am sure I hardly appear crazy or anything.

I think the world is generally not ready for happy, shiny people. I didn't used to think this, but now I do. Carry on! You make the world a better place whether it's recognized it or not. (me smiling and saying "HI")

I usually stop them and say it again--unless I'm crabby then I use it aS
an AN EXCUSE TO BE CRABBIER.
Ok, not really.

My best friend from college would walk around giving people high fives. He would say "hey high five!" and hold out his hand. It thought it was hilarious!

Sad, is when someone you know chooses to ignore your greeting. I just pray for them.

And Jana, hey high five IS hilarious. I'm thinking he sounds 20-something at the time. No?

Carla, keep spreading your cheer.

Carla said...

I'll sprinkle the world with it today.

Carla,
I think some fell on me around noon today while I was walking with a friend, her three tots and her newborn. Thanks. :)

Uh yeah, this happened to me yesterday when I came into work. I got completely ignored.

Carla said...
