The other day Mary and I were late going somewhere, and as we were getting into the car Mary commited one of the classic blunders by saying, "Hi" to our nice neighbors. She said, "Hi" to them while they were out in their yard and then they waved her over to talk to them. Well, I saved myself and immediately got into the car. She goes over there and starts a conversation with them.
Poor Mary, she doesn't realize you never say, "Hi" to the nice neighbors... If you do, the next thing you know they are inviting you into their house to look at their Christmas decorations for two hours.
...If you are nice to them it only encourages them to be nice, that's why you have to be mean and not make eye contact.
