Same thing happens where I work, I'll pass by people standing in a
hallway, and will have plenty of room to pass them, but as a walk by
they will say "How rude, he didn't say 'escuse me'!"
Or, yesterday, I had a customer on the phone who said "Good morning"
I said "Can I get your account number?" He then said "You didn't say
good morning" and he wouldn't proceed with the call until I said it.
I am constantly not responding to "good morning"s, I don't see the
point~especially when my calls are timed.
just including my two cents...
