Sorry sweetie, that only happens to you.
Bitch.
However maybe it has to do with the fact they all know I’m moving in 6 months to another coast and another country… hmmmmm
This would be the correct answer, without a doubt.
Wrong. They like her because she wears blouses that accidentally come unbuttoned over the bust at inconvenient times.
What I hate, is when i’m walking past someone, we make eye contact, but when I say “hi”, or “how are you” I get NOTHING.
It’s just ignorant.
Just acknowledge these people. It’s not hard.
I know what you’re talking about.
But does it really bother you that much?
And if so, why?
Concerning the perfunctory “good morning” greeting business: a nod can do the job as well. Or a smile. Or just plain nothing. It depends on your general mood and the setting, I guess.

I don’t care THAT much about it, but it gets annoying when it happens pretty regularly.
In general, I get annoyed at people who can’t even demonstrate common courtesy anywhere.
This whole “good morning” thing bothers the hell out of me too.
Whats more is the obligation you feel to say good morning, and then when you don’t it nags at you because you don’t want to ruffle any feathers. You can just feel the expectation is there. Maybe I just care too much.
I vary the greeting, but my facial expression and tone indicates much more. I say ‘Hey’, ‘morning’, or ‘howdy’, but I do it in such a way that it’s more an acknowledgment of our mutual commiseration. It’s like saying, ‘Fuck me this sucks balls’ without the verbiage.
I always thought people appreciated knowing they weren’t alone.
But the happy ‘Good Morning!’ people always get an inner ‘FUCK YOU! ASSHOLE!’.
They’re not on my side, anyway. That’s propaganda.
If someone who doesn’t give a shit asks you how you’re going, say “not so good” and start ranting about boring stuff for 15 minutes. They’ll stop asking.
We’re people, not fucking animals. I think it would be weird if I stopped being nice to people and just went straight to business. It makes things less awkward when you have sentences like “how was your weekend” “what are your plans for the following week” etc. even if you don’t give two shits, IMO.
OP if it really bothers you that much just tell the people in your office to stfu in the morning. And for them to say good night when they leave.

That’s much more honest.

That pisses me off like none other. I usually have my Ipod in whenever I have to walk around campus though, saves me from saying anything to the 10,000 people I pass on the side walk everyday. I’d be hoarse by the time I made it to class.

People actually talk to each other on your campus? The avert eyes and look in the opposite direction method is pretty popular lol.
At least I don’t have to deal with any good mornings
Wait, there are times and places for this kind of thing. If you’re like… in a lift with someone, and there is only you two, it would be too awkward to just stand there for 60 seconds and totally ignore each other. Besides, what if it’s a chick; “GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFT WHORE OR I’LL THROW YOU DOWN THE FUCKING SHAFT”. The odd person is fine, but if you find yourself saying good morning to everyone who walks past; you’re a weird cunt.
Okay, some of you took this out of context and took this as the most serious post of all time. All I was saying really was, if sometimes I don’t say it… Why the fuck would you be so offended.
This one dude I work with, if he’s not acknowledged by everybody in the building when he walks in, will be pissed off all day.
Seriously though, I just find it so fake sometimes. Like people have said, nobody really gives a flying rat’s ass about most of the people they work with, so why pretend?

I do agree that it’s fake most of the time, and it’s basically a habit, like saying sorry. Sorry this, sorry that. Whatever.
I don’t know though. This guy I worked with would turn up, and I just say hi, or whatever greeting came to mind, and he just mumbles, and barely says a word. It pisses me off so much. It frustrates me that he can’t (or won’t) engage me. I get pissed off when people don’t look at me when they’re talking or I’m talking.

Skank.
PMPM, You’ve got it wrong. I don’t wear a blouse with buttons that come undone. I wear mini skirts and generally don’t wear panties underneath. Just last week I was asking for a raise and SLOWLY uncrossed and recrossed my legs. I had a few extra thousand bucks on my paycheck this week.
