I smile at everyone if I make eye contact. There are times I am thinking of something and I may not notice people, but I try to smile at everyone

I always say hi. If someone drives past our neighborhood, wave. It takes some by surprise but usually they smile and wave back. I'm a odd ball. Opening doors for people, talk to them on the grocery line, letting them go first. 90% respond, if they don't I leave em alone, knowing what a bad day is like or not wanting to be bothered. I'm the same way and have met some interesting people just standing in line at a checkout. A smile and a friendly little chat doesn't cost a dime and most of the time both people walk away feeling good. So why not???

I always try to smile and I have struck up many a conversation in the checkout lines too. Got some good recipes that way !

Mona Lisa was on to something. Don't show your dents unless you're proud of your dents.

well i don't just smile and wave randomly at people; they might lock me away. however, i do make nice to those with whom i'm interacting, such as grocery clerks, bank tellers, etc.
