I'm bringing back greeting people in the streets.

@TheBreadmonkey We’ve tried out here in Arizona but people stare at you as if you are nuts, then look away. But I’d be happy to get such a greeting from you. Wave away!
@cobalt123 @TheBreadmonkey I had a neighbor one street over yell at me when I said hello. I was so astounded! The only thing I can think of is that she thought I was just some jerk going to spend money locally on Melrose, one block up. Some townies really hate tourists and hipsters, I guess, and maybe this lady thought I was one or the other.

I'm bringing back greeting people in the streets. I have thus far good-morning'd 6 unsuspecting folk of my local community and have achieved a 100% hit rate. I cannot be stopped. I am the friendly neighbourhood....Goodmorning-Man. Goodmorning-Man, Goodmorning-Man. Does whatever a goodmorning can.
I now appoint you as an honoury generic northerner:

@TheBreadmonkey I used to do that, but one day a person stopped and embellished their good morning with some more words as if they were expecting a conversation now and I couldn't cope with that so I've gone back to doing a nod and a mumbled "Hi", but only IF I am spoken to first, otherwise it seems it can get complicated fast.
@scribblanitea @TheBreadmonkey I feel you. I only great people first when I’m on a bicycle and am travelling faster/slower than them or in the opposite direction so there’s no danger of a follow up!

Is that the Doppler Effect? Full disclosure I'm not a sound scientist.

@TheBreadmonkey @spanghero It's as good a representation of it as you can do in text I think, although I believe it's the pitch of the sound changes from a higher to lower tone as the source of the sound approaches then passes the observer and recedes.
But I'm not a sound person... or scientist... either. -

For your ears to detect this effect—called the Doppler effect—the sound source has to be moving toward or away from you at a minimum speed of about 15 to 20 mph (24 to 32 kph). As the source moves faster, the effect becomes more pronounced.

The fastest human ever recorded is Usain Bolt, who reached a peak speed of 27.8 mph (44.7 km/h)

@TheBreadmonkey I do this on my morning walk. It seems to irritate people, so I'm going to keep doing it.

I always greet everyone "good morning!" Especially in the evening!
