do you speak to everyone, you see?

[markio26]

i was laughing about my 2 acts of kindness i try to do a day and it got me to thinking... my spouse gets annoyed sometimes, because every where i go i talk to someone... sometimes i help them shop, if they cannot find an item.. i usually know the mgr or someone who works there.. i try to be friendly.. 90% of the public is nice.. 10% is not... i think it comes from my nursing, realtor, beautician back ground, etc.. we even have welcome friends barrel top on our garage door...

No, but I would like to. I often meet people in resturants sitting close by and talk to them, especially if they seem friendly.

Im friendly, but I dont talk to random people. I usually "click" with people...like my DR Horton agent. But usually I get what I need to get done and Im out.

Talking to random people in a major metropolitan area can be hazardous to your health.

Re: do you speak to everyone, you see?

It depends on the mood of the day. I can be rather single minded if I am focused on task. If I am not doing/thinking about something I am generally friendly. If I'm on a plane or waiting in line I have no problem striking up a conversation with the person next to me as long as they are willing..sometimes they are not.

If i'm in a rush, i tend to just do my thing and that's it. But when my pace is slower, i often strike up a conversation with whoever i run into, whether it's a sales clerk, a passer-by or whoever. Usually p eople respond positively

Yes 5 times 5 is 25......No we can't grow an olive tree here...I am not sure, but I know I would never be able to keep it alive....I don't know where thye grow them, in Jerusalem? we can look it up when we get home...)

No, but my mother-in-law sure does!

I don't like to be bothered when I'm shopping. I like to get what I came for and be on my merry way.

I get annoyed as well, I have a friend who I can't stand going places with her becuase she hold an entire conversation with a stranger, and then gets upset when her kid deos the same thing. I mean from her divorce to the fact that she is in a financial stink

I'm with Sweeps on this one. This city is far too big, and there are far too many people everywhere I go. I'd lose my voice and my mind within minutes.

It is easier to talk to folks as you move away from big cities.

Same here. Depends on my mood or what I have to do.

most of the time, ppl. in stores look to me for help finding a product or ask me a question and they usually have a coupon or ad in hand... i smile and say hi to everyone who looks my way.... i just like being happy..................

Re: do you speak to everyone, you see?

I don't get out much but when I do I try to go out of my way to be helpful and pleasant. I do like to practice acts of kindness whenever I can, helping unload groceries, letting people ahead of me in line, etc. I'm not in a hurry when I go out and remember when I WAS always in a hurry and how nice it was when someone would go out of their way for me.
