If I have to deal with people don't smile I harrass them until they either laugh and be friendly or try to hit me -- Either way I have fun.
Some peeps have to be pushed. My mother called it priming the pump. I mentioned E to a friend of mine at work who said, "I hate that smug jackass. I've worked with them for 20 years and never once talk to me."
So I asked, "Why you hate C so bad you never even say hi to them in 20 years?"
"I say hi to them what says hi to me," was the reply.
Two perfectly good people who saw each other ever day for 20 years and never said a word to each other cuz neither would say "Hi" first.
And sometimes people think they know something about you. One day a new woman was nasty to a friend of mine, so I asked "What John ever do to you?" to which she replied, "X told me he is a drunk who beats his kids."
When I asked X I was told, "I wasn't talking about that man John. I was talking about that woman Dawn."
oh.
