I’m asking because it’s a very normal thing to do here.

When you enter a room, but also things like a hairdresser or say a small cafe, you say hello to the people there and say goodbye when leaving. Or when taking a bus, you say hello to the driver and goodbye or thank him when getting off.

I was only recently told by some online friends of mine that this is pretty weird in other places. So I’m wondering if I’m (or my country) is the weird one or them

    What part of the Midwest? I’ve had the opposite experience coming from MN (not from the cities, so it might be different there) and moving to CO.

      I’m from small town Iowa, hello neighbor!

      My parents moved to Colorado a few years ago. I’ve been to Minneapolis a handful of times for concerts and MSP while flying back here, but other than that I’m not super familiar with Minnesota.
