...and completely ignores you, do you still say good morning and/or goodbye or do you complete ignore them right back? Curious what others do.... Thanks.
Keep being friendly. If your coworker is not a team player and can't be bothered with a simple social pleasantry, it may eventually be noticed by your supervisor and will reflect badly on them, not you. If it were me, I would still cheerfully say hello and be myself.

I agree.
Anyone who doesn't fit in well with others at work usually doesn't last very long on the job. Beyond skills, some people don't realize how important it is to get along with co-workers. Because no one likes coming into an office where people are at odds with each other constantly.
I could care less who likes me at work. I'm not there to make friends.
Thankfully my current position is the best one I've ever had. Been here 4 years and everyone gets along.... boss is mellow... and there is no drama.
I've had positions in the past however where people didn't like me and kept their nose in the air. Good for them. I didn't lose any sleep over it. If they chose to ignore me I did the same. I didn't go out of my way to be friendly to them and only conversed when it was required for work.
I can't count how many people I've worked with who didn't like me. You know what? The way I see it is that I'm there to get a job done and if someone wants to be rude, that's his problem.
Focus on the job itself, not the idiots that you're forced to endure.
Now for someone ignoring you, that person may not necessarily dislike you (not that it matters if he does dislike you). I ignore people too. That's because I do my best to stay 100% focused on the job. I'm not paid to run my mouth.
I've had one colleague that didn't like me for an unknown reason (at the time), she was payroll manager, I was staffing manager so there was necessary interaction.
I simply kept it cool and professional. She was a bit of an emotional drama queen and fortunately our management knew it. It was a relief when she finally left on her own.
I later found out she hated me because I was hired into a higher wage than her. Thang was, I took a 20% pay cut to take that position.
I find it puzzling when you go into a work place and you see there are so many weirdo introverts functioning in society. its unbelievable.. Ive worked in many jobs with nasty, unfriendly, pieces of wood that would walk right over a dead body without a care in the world. Its truly shocking.
It is professional to say hello or good morning to co-workers. If you're feuding with somebody, you are still allowed to say hello, good morning, and so on sometimes. Of course they are not entitled to answer you.
Ignoring others and not greeting them is unprofessional.
