I am beginning to think that this whole, saying hi to everyone thing might not work out. Today I went to the Post Office, something that I planned on doing since I had planned on saying hi to everyone that I meet, and upon saying the standard greeting of 'Hello' I was shocked at the response.
The poor woman that I said hi to turns to her husband who was sitting at the counter and says "Robert, do you know this woman!?! Is she trying to mug me?!?" He turns to me and looks me over, and then turns to her and says, "No, I've never seen her before" turning to me "do we know you?" I was kind of stunned and just mumbled "No, I was just saying hi." The woman then turns to me and does that old woman eye roll, you know the one that everyone's Grandmother makes when you do something that is ridiculous and they don't really want to chastise you for, and then says to me, "Dear, if this is your way of distracting me to get my purse, it is not working."
So that went well right?
