A sprinkle of art and a sparkle of laughter goes a long way. If you care enough to read this before talking to me, here are some musings on how to get positive results. Directness is hot. If all you want to do is "sit together," we can probably talk just fine where we are, right? Learn the difference between having a dick and being a dick. (Also worth noting you can be a dick without having a dick, and that's probably worse.) I *might* respond to "smiles"...or "hi"...or "how r u"...or "waves"... But if you try a little harder, so will I. I beg you: No Miss, Ma'am, Ms., Mrs., etc. Just call me by my name. That's plenty respectful. If I'm just standing here, I'm likely not busy and likely not waiting on someone. I'll let you know if there's an issue. Try just talking. It's not my fault if you're incapable of maintaining an actual conversation. Instead of getting mad at me...do better. 🤷
