I'm bringing back greeting people in the streets. I have thus far good-morning'd 6 unsuspecting folk of my local community and have achieved a 100% hit rate. I cannot be stopped. I am the friendly neighbourhood....Goodmorning-Man. Goodmorning-Man, Goodmorning-Man. Does whatever a goodmorning can.

There's an elderly woman in my street who's often out in front of her house when I pass. I say good morning, etc and she smiles and says something back in a language that I don't understand or recognise.
I've spoken to that woman more than some of the people who live in the same small unit block as me.
@TheBreadmonkey the other people: "Oh no! My memory's going. I can't remember being introduced to him!"
Are you likely to break out into song at any point, because there are limits
I aaaaalwaaaaays dooooooo
@TheBreadmonkey this is not abnormal in Texas. At least in Houston and DFW. Or maybe I just miss/ignore social cues. I Gooe Morning the HELL out of people here.
@TheBreadmonkey I do this. In Massachusetts, a place reputed to be unfriendly, it feels subversive.
@TheBreadmonkey You could become an undertaker, and wish everyone a good mourning all day...
@TheBreadmonkey I love doing this, I've reprogrammed several people into responding now. At first they didn't say anything or just grunted but now I get smiles and actual words!
@TheBreadmonkey I really hope you sang them the Good Morning song from Singin’ in the Rain
I used to wake the kids up by playing this. They used to hate it but now think it's hilarious.
@TheBreadmonkey You're becoming French?
That's the normal course here...it's nice.
@TheBreadmonkey I do this on my morning walk. It seems to irritate people, so I'm going to keep doing it.
I now appoint you as an honoury generic northerner:
