Greeting people...

is not rocket science. When you see someone you really shouldn't continue to use the same sad line of, "Where you been? You just show up when you feel like it?" It doesn't even make sense, especially since you are the one who hasn't been around. It's even worse when you say it to one person, continue a conversation with that person, and then say it to someone else who walks by. Are you really that unoriginal? I would rather have you simply smile, keep your mouth closed, and move along your way. In fact, just stop talking all together, you're starting to annoy me.
