Do You Still Greet the People You Meet?

i always greet people who r of my age and elder to me .... these are the basics of humanity

I always greet people that I know and often have a quick conversation with them as I think that is polite. However with people I don't know I tend not to. If they catch my eye I will smile and say hello, but most people are suspicious if you do that.

yes i said hello to everyone i meet. i say good moring how are you. good evening have a good nite. i think it is so very important greet people. and it makes me feel good.so i know it mkes them feel the same way

Nope, I seldom greeting people, but I usually just smile at them and they smile back to me...

I do, but then I'm the one that stands and talks to the greeter at WalMart for 10 minutes - I think it helps to cheer others up and give them a better day which in turns gives me a better day, I smile at strangers too.

i tend to talk to everyone i meet as i'm a hopeless chatterbox and see few folks. however, i'd say it depends on where you live. if you live in some cities, it can scare some folks to be greeted by a toltal stranger.

yes I do always , if its youngsters I usually say Hiya , if its neighbours I usually say something about the weather or ask how they are , If I pas in the car I wave and smile , but then I have done this all my life so I will never change now , My granddaughter asked me " do you know everybody nanny" lol ,bless her xx

Yes, when I see anyone I know, I say "Hi!" or "Hello!". Sometimes I just nod and smile just to show that I acknowledge their presence. I have been brought up that way also. A short greeting or gesture is enough to show respect to other people.

yes, of course. it is good gesture for all human beings. even i greet my wife and baby girl in the morning after getting up. then i go for exercise and to whom i meet while walking i say "Ram Ram" or "Namaste" and in office we all staff greet each other before start work everyday. i even teach my five years daughter to greet elders, friends, teachers and all to whom she knows.

Yes, I always greet people, no matter what age they are. It is rude to not greet them, in my opinion. It's just a natural thing for me to do, like smiling or saying hello. I do this to perfect strangers too. It's amazing how you can see someone and they look like they are having a bad day, you can walk past them and smile at them and their entire face will light up, like someone cares about them.

I think that I still greet people... if its morning I use good morning but after that I think I use something like... Hi, how are you ?

Yes, I observe the habit of greeting people I meet or whenever we go to a friends home, we tell them good morning/afternoon and give a shake of hands to them or give them a kiss in the cheek.

yes i do greet people when i meet them, either elder then me or younger doesnt matter. it good personality symbol to greet people when u meet them, we should put smile on our face while meeting other.

I do still greet people, even if it's just a nod or a smile. I'm not one of those bubbly happy people that could tolerate saying "good morning" or what have you to everyone with a smile. In fact if I did that quite a few people whould believe I had gone round the bend if you know what I mean.

Hi! I love to smile and say, "Hi," to someone. You can really tell when it makes a difference to that person. Their face lights up and they get all excited! Sometimes that's all the acknowledgement some people get. It's really important to greet people. And, that person might end up helping you later! :-)

why not? and i teach my gal to do that you must greet sb she knows, or even meet a stranger.

I always greet people that I have met and know. Even if it's a quick "good morning" to a neighbor who is outside when I leave for work or a short conversation with the mailman. I just feel that's the polite thing to do. If I see someone in a store or anywhere else, I may smile or make small talk if they initiate it, but I'm not really big on striking up conversations with strangers. For example, if I'm in an airport or on a plane, or waiting at a doctor's office, I would prefer to be left alone to read my book rather than talk about nothing with someone I don't know and will never see again.

Yes, I would always acknowledge people I meet, people that I know anyway. Even if I only knew people briefly, I would still greet them. Usually it is a "hi", or occasionally a "hello", and maybe then a "how are you"?

I try to greet like you say all the time. I won't say that sometimes i don't do it, but i can proudly say i am rather polite in this aspect lol.

My parents also taught me to be respecful to everyone by greeting everyone I meet especially the elders one and I have taught my children to do so. I am so grateful to my parents for their teaching. I still greet the people telling them ggod morning, good afternoon or good evening.
