I'm pretty blind without my contacts and too vain to wear glasses so I usually smile back just in case I know that person but I don't tend to wave in case they're waving to someone behind me. Either way I get pegged for "cold bitch" until my friends explain my blindness lol. The only time that I've really noticed greetings is if I am up really early in the morning. Strangers will often say "Good morning" as if to acknowledge, yes we have to be up this early, we may as well be united and civilised. I notice that it never happens in the afternoons :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-60780743276417989952008-05-27T22:40:00.000-04:002008-05-27T22:40:00.000-04:00You know, you just run into cranky grouches everyw...You know, you just run into cranky grouches everywhere.
