Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

What is it about a large office that makes people feel they have to great people they pass in the hallways no matter how many times you see that person in a day? Now don't get me wrong I am all for coworkers being very cordial to each other and greeting one another, but do you have to great each other every time you pass in the hall? This same phenomena doesn't happen at a small office. You great each other once in the morning and you are done for the day.

So what is it about the size of the office that compels people to do this?

Have you experienced this? Or is this just an isolated incident?

Here in the academic world of sceintist, to avert the eyes and bow the head when passing is the norm...sceintist not usually be social beings.
Thus, I have implemented the "Say Hi Every Time Rule". I've noticed that at first these furtive sceintist resisted with all their being, but over time, I've heard some mumbled hi's and actually have had several real conversations.
So, as the cowboys say, "Howdy, howdy, howdy."

Yes. I have noticed this annoying phenomena and chose to ignore it at the large office I worked at. Perhaps that's why I was universally hated.

I would bet that was just one reason is a long list of many others.
