In reply to the discussion: Do NOT say Hello To me.. [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)10. calif we barely made eye contact. texas is much more open to friendly.
they wave at strangers while driving especially on the country roads.
but, that being said. even in the small towns we recognize the difference fo a friendly hello cause made eye contact and a man, interrupting a womens space to place a moment of ownership on her.
as the gal in the video said, we are not stupid.
or, did the girl say that, lol, i am wondering if it is just me saying that.
