I love thanking people for no reason. When you think about it, who doesn't? Try it the next time your out and see what happens, you will get a smile, a question, or nothing at all - Ideal Case - a thank you right back.
I honestly get so weirded out by people that get really nervous when you say hi to them. Some people almost get scared of people that are friendly. Don't get me wrong, people can get weird friendly, but even a non-chalant hello can really throw some one off and I don't get it. So, what do you do to avoid this annoying rudeness?
If I am at my place of work, I usually ask questions that people aren't expecting to see if they are really listening. Something like, "Are you all set with everything today?"
People usually respond, "no", even though they clearly have not been helped. Maybe I like to mess around with reality, so I ask, "oh, well, what do you need then?"
And they say, "nothing", so I say, well then, it doesn't seem like your all set - so let me help you, silly person.
People just don't get it, until they finally start listening. That's the battle, just listen for a second, just trying to help you here - no biggie at all.
Figure it out people of the world who can't smile at a stranger. Didn't realize people like being smiled at, oh wait, smile leads to laughing, and both these things are happy. People like being happy last time I checked, where the hell am I?
