Because no one has such fragile relationships that not wasting time with nonsense pleasantries fractures them. I am against all such things. Like people that come into the office and say good morning. Work together 250 days a year for thousands of hours and years on end. Don’t need to announce your existence where…

I also love anectdotal evidence. I witnessed a plane with 3 kids that ruined a 5 hour flight for everyone. See? I can do it too.
Nope! Born, raised, and kept off airplanes until I was mature enough to go without driving everyone else insane.
