Goat has a spectacular aura aboutGoat has a spectacular aura about
Random people who make eye contact and smile on the street

Since coming back to Vancouver i've noticed it a lot more: no one makes eye contact, smiles, or says a simple 'hello', walking by eachother on the street.
It's got something to do with 'big city mentality'. I never realized how much i missed it until today walking back from the bank, a random chick smiled, made eye contact, said hello.
just like that.
it was genuine. it was refreshing. it made me feel good.

:)

seems the only people who say hi to me are the homeless or lost.

i seem to attract tourists. i have no idea why.

I always smile or say hello to people when I walk by them, and i absolutely hate it when they don't do it back. SO rude.

I'll admit I tend to avoid the old dirty men as well.

I always at least give a smile and a nod to people I am passing on the street. Most people also get a "Hello" or a "Good evening" unless they look ubber sketchy.

lol that's just because everyone is related there! j/k Small Towns are nice like that. Being from small places like that I usually smile or nod to people on the Street if I'm in a good mood.

especially if they are old

walking down davie st. with jovi the other weekend i decided to start saying hi and giving random people names aswell during our walk, " hi bob! how ya been!" "wassup dave, how are the kids?" the last part really confused the guy cuz i think he was gay.

I Know

I totally know what you mean. I grew up in Vancouver for 16 years and then moved to a small town on Vancouver Island. And the people in this town were so friendly and polite I thought they were all on crack. They smiled at you and said hello. It was crazy. But living there for a few years it grows on you. So now when I go back to Vancouver I notice myself smiling and saying hello to people and they all think I am on crack. Giving you weird looks and stuff. I find it kind of amusing. But still love good old Vancouver.
