It's still polite to acknowledge people who greet you with a cheery 'Good morning!'. Even if you can't actually hear them (dubious), it is still obvious that they are, so stop being ignorant fvckwits!

Thanks - I feel a bit better for that...

Ready! Steady! Cook!

I still find it weird when people are talking on hands free devices - always think they're some lunatic ranting to themself!

But yes, a nice friendly good morning is still very much appreciated. Although here in the big smoke it is possibly an arrestable offence.

Every Sunday morning I listen to music on headphones whilst out walking the dog. I always respond to any greeting. My only concern is that some people see me listening to music and try to have a conversation rather than just a gtreeting.

It's also a waste of time ringing your bell if you're a cyclist.

Good on those cyclists that do actually use the bell, as opposed to many that sneak up behind you when you are running or walking and still expect you to have moved out of their way in plenty of time.

This!

Why have people taken to using their mobile as a speakerphone when out and about. Its bad enough having to listen to one side of a conversation, never mind both.

Although to be fair they might wear headphones as a signal to other people that they don't wish to interact.

My ex used to complain about me being over sociable when we were out walking with the dog[s]. All I'd do is smile and say hi to other people we met along the way.

"Do you have to speak to absolutely everyone we bloody well see?"

Yes, yes I do.

Miserable cow.

The only response is an upward nod and an "alright?".

Actually while we're on the subject, despite the fact I both give and receive "alright?" multiple times per day for the last 20 years or so i'm still not entirely sure if it's rhetorical? I assume it is...

Mate of mine had to put up with a long conversation on a train once. This guy was loudly on his mobile talking to his HR people about how they could fix it get somebody in his team he didn't like sacked.

As my mate was leaving the train he said 'I heard every word of that. You were talking about my sister. You'll be hearing from her.'

When he looked back through the carriage window, the bloke's faced suggested the world had just fallen out of his bottom.

"Alright?"

"Is that rhetorical question or do you really want to know?"

I have known for some American colleagues to answer 'all right?' literally, much to our amusement. Although it's still five minutes of my life I'm not getting back.

What's wrong with a smile and a nod if you see somebody with headphones in?
