I have a habit. If a strange woman looks at me in the street, I smile. Sometimes she smiles back even if she is with someone. One even smiled, and adjusted her hair, but then she was in a car ready to pull away as the lights changed.
So do you smile, nod, say 'Hi' to strangers?
Do you smile back...?
Do you report them to the police and run like hell?
Is it possible to be more polite on the streets?
Should we just put our heads down and get to where we are going?

I thinki I must walk round looking bloody miserable, I'm always getting told to smile by complete strangers.

i tend to get that gary lieneker smile from people ..the one he gave gazza not sure what it means tho..
I smile constantly when I'm at work, (singing) and I often get feedback of - "What a nice lady, she never stopped smiling!"
I've come to the conclusion that if you smile broadly at everybody, people get a warm, positive feeling feeling about you. This even works if you hold a smile while talking to someone on the phone!
i use mine to good effect

If a stranger smiles at me i usually smile back then spend the rest of the day wondering who it was lol
I often walk around the lanes and footpaths around my village but what I see most are people driving by. But there is nearly always a wave. Which is almost the same as a smile. 9 times out of 10 I haven't a clue who they are. I always wave back. Sometimes I'll wave first.
Its always nice when I get a lady waving I don't know waving at me. (It does happen from time to time). Perhaps next time I should leap out and find out who she is.
It could be the start of a beautiful......trip to A&E!
