I’m asking because it’s a very normal thing to do here.
When you enter a room, but also things like a hairdresser or say a small cafe, you say hello to the people there and say goodbye when leaving. Or when taking a bus, you say hello to the driver and goodbye or thank him when getting off.
I was only recently told by some online friends of mine that this is pretty weird in other places. So I’m wondering if I’m (or my country) is the weird one or them
The trick is to just respond with “Hi” then look away. Conversation over.
I already do this but still find it annoying when randos do this especially in places like the bus where I can’t easily get away if they try to talk more.
