Do you have to be friendly?

Would it kill you to say hello on a country walk? | Patrick Barkham | Opinion | The Guardian

You Northern types may like being friendly. But I just want to pretend I have not seen anyone else. If I wanted to see people, I would have stayed in town.

And its discrimination against the handicapped. Autistic types don't want to interact. They prefer their own little dream world.

I always say hello when out in the country. It's good to make even the briefest acknowledgement of other humans every now and then

It's a bit terse around here really.

"Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening" would make them think you're a bit posh, like.

Do you greet your victims before you eat them?

Ermm.. Last time I checked, Somerset is well south of London. Perhaps it's just the South-East...?

Anyway, who - other than the BBC and Islington - takes any notice of the Grauniad?

I buy them a drink at the very least. Bottle of leg-opener usually works best; makes it more or less consensual...

Is that one of your rohypnol cocktails?

[WTFH]

I'd always say hello.


Also, if they look confused/lost, I'll ask them if they need help.




...and that's in the South East.

No. **** off.

Heck no. Only tried rohypnol once. Woke up with no memory and a sore arse.

You're socially awkward, don't worry though, other people will recognise that and give you a wide berth.
