When driving through your local suburb/village/town/street/lane wave or smile at people ? Even if you don’t know them ?

I do locally all the time . Also when driving through small villages . I wonder what others make of this . Friendly or a bit OTT

I live in the big schmoke so I can’t be doing to everyone but I always be sure to give the nod or a hello to any old fogey I walk past

That being said, I think blanking people in the office corridor when you’re walking past each other is a crime against humanity

Yeah multiple encounters is a moral no mans land.

I think as long as you acknowledge their existence at least once then you’re in the clear

Sometimes I would but anytime someone leaves me out into traffic I would give a wave.

One of the offices I work in has a crazy long corridor . I feel a sense of panic sometimes walking the 10 seconds until we meet in the middle if its someone I don’t know well . Thank fuck for mobiles and windows giving me something to stare at meanwhile

Would you give 'the nod' to this old fogey?

Me too, perfectly normal in small towns/villages, particularly your home town/village, you’d be branded a snob if you didn’t….

I do it locally. I find it happens even more the further I get from Dublin. Love doing it while another county even walking. Maybe just feel like I'm on holidays.

Always! It’s nice to be nice…and it’s a small gesture that can mean a lot.

It would be like crocodile Dundee arriving in New York in the bigger cities.

In the countryside, in small villages and at the quieter beaches a nod or salute is almost customery, might even say there s something wrong with your man, or they must be out with me over something if you did nt get the salute

Not being from any of the parishes up and down this country, and also doing a fair amount on travelling for work… I love the nod/finger raise/head tilt/general eye contact that exists in the country. Always try to engage as I drive around…

I also almost always wave at neighbours on my way in and out of the estate where I live…. It’s likely they think I’m way too friendly… kind of a Truman show blow in as I take the trash cans in from the curb… (using my mother tongue).

Office greetings…. What’s an office… am petrified of office etiquette when that returns.

When my family first arrived in Ireland back in the 80s, living in the middle of nowhere or the arse of beyond as I like to call it , my mother literally sat behind the wheel of the car with 2 fingers lifted off the steering wheel in salute because everyone you drove past greeted or waved in some way. Something that we as city slickers were not accustomed to! It makes me smile to this day. The rural community of Ireland.

I have to admit I have a tendency to be lost in thought, in la la land, so I'd probably even walk/drive past my closest friends without realising and I do live in a bigger town...but when I am more conscious of my surroundings, Id like to say I have a smile on my face for people

I always do and I say hello when passing people on the street that look in my direction. Nicest costs nothing and you can see the affect it has on some people

You're essentially articulating the changes that have taken place in most societies over the past fifty plus years; increased urbanisation leads to growing anonymity; people are naturally inclined to be friendly within their local group whom they know, but urbanisation means you don't know your neighbour or people you pass by.

We have lost a lot in the so-called process of development.

When out for a walk due to my stranger danger rules, I'll never initiate the nod or hello but I would reciprocate

When driving I do flash the lights and have at people for a bit of fun and banter. And when I go for a walk I do interact with people also.

In my local village yes I do. If I'm somewhere bigger... usually only if gesturing in traffic or very close in a lift, or if we shared a smile

Depends if I know someone or not. Having lived away from my town for 15 odd years I don’t really know anyone anymore here but like you I’d acknowledge anyone that I do know.
