If I see someone in the workplace who I am acquainted with, such as passing them in the hall, most of the time they will smile and say hello. Perfectly courteous.
However, if I pass the same person and someone else is in view, that same person will suddenly act as if they don't know me or see me. It seems like a majority of people do this. At least at certain places.
No. I would elaborate further but it would be a TOS violation.
Be creative without violating the TOS. Assume we have good imaginations or we can decode hidden messages.
Regardless, if you say no, then we'll assume no.
OK, how do you know this problem you are describing is not your imagination? Are you paranoid?
What you describe does not have too many possible explanations in a normal working/social environment.

Why do people do this?
I have noticed similar behavior in certain circles. Don't you live in my city? Clique-ish way way beyond high school has ben my perception of people here. Maybe that is it.
Why you wait for some one to say hello to you ? Can't you be the one thats courteous
They are usually looking away rudely. Am I going to make a big scene to get their attention, especially if they are trying to avoid me. Wouldn't that be rude of me too?

Why do people do this?
Because if they smile and say hello to you then they're ignoring the other person, and the other person will be writing in here asking why people do this.
It's all about business courtesy. Nothing to do with you, yourself, so don't take it personally.
