There are a ton of things you can do to make your (and someone else’s) day more fun, even with something as small as the way you greet them! A simple “hello” usually works, but you might want to innovate a little.

Just say “hi!”

It seems that with more and more technology flooding into our lives, we are getting out of step with the world around us – people in particular.

You may have noticed that people would rather look at their cell phones, pretend to do something important, or even make brief eye contact than actively look at you as you greet them, all in an effort to avoid saying something as simple as a … “Hi!”.

This doesn’t just happen to strangers, but also to acquaintances! It’s a common courtesy that is slowly fading as we indulge in social media and a virtual world where we’ve become so used to talking to people virtually that we’ve forgotten how to do it face-to-face. We need to break this cycle of total social embarrassment!

I don’t know about you, but when a friendly stranger just smiles and says “hello” as they walk by, my day just gets better.

Don’t be the kind of person who pretends not to see people passing by. Be sociable, be happy, make your day and someone else’s day better with real interaction! If you’re bored of just saying “hello,” here are some ways to improve it a bit!

funny greetings

Almost any greeting can be funny if you say it right! Here are some helpful tips to try and make sure you amuse your friend!

Accentuation: Add a silly accent to your greeting. (Eeeei! Good morning, man!) Your friend will just smile and probably call you an idiot, but the smile was worth it, right?
silly voices: Who doesn’t like silly voices and sounds? Try some. If you have a child, you know that silly noises will make him smile!
Representations: If you do any impersonations it will make your greeting even more fun, even more so if it’s a bad impersonation! (bonus if you know how to imitate Donald Duck)
jokes: Start the conversation with a joke! Imagine answering your cell phone and hearing this: “- What will be written on Santa’s headstone? – He’s not on sleds anymore.”
Foreign languages: Innovate by serving your mother with a little French or Japanese! It will make you confused for sure! If you don’t know how to talk, you can pretend you do. It doesn’t matter…
