I pretty much always say something back unless I'm totally out in left field and don't realize that they are talking to me... which does happen sometimes...
This
or
unless I think they're trying to sell me something, in which case I say "no thank you" with little eye contact and keep walking.
But in the OP's case being that it was in a work environment, I would most definitely greet someone back if I knew their greeting was directed at me.
You're right. I thought she was very attractive until she just completely ignored me. I'm not sure if she works with us but if I ever see her again and she ignores me, I'm going to straight up ask her what her deal is.
I honestly rather get a "F**k off" than nothing at all.
That's harassment. You really want to go there?
I'll never understand people who can't take a hint. She brushed you off. The decent thing to do is leave her alone. She owes you nothing.
I don't think she did anything wrong necessarily. Let's be honest, if she wasn't a beautiful girl, would you have even greeted her? Also, "how are you?" is phony as hell, I hate when people who don't know me or barely know me ask me that and I ignore them when they ask me that. And I usually don't respond when strangers say hello to me. Why are they saying hello when they don't know me, what's up with that?
I'm actually a good and decent person, just very introverted and thus don't like conversing with people I do not know. If that makes people mistakenly think I'm an a****** so be it.
IME, usually when some stranger wants to talk or says hello, it's b/c they have an agenda (selling something, trying to sign you up for something, asking for a date, hitting you up for change).

The "hey" before that made it much worse. It was a rather in your face pickup line that she obviously wanted no part of.

Well that's rude. How is anyone going to know what a "good and decent person" you are by acting like that?
And to answer your question it's called being civil and acting kind toward other human beings which is greatly lacking in these times.
When someone greets you, do you greet them back? Why wouldn't you greet someone back?
Yes, all the time. The only time I wouldnt if I was somehow distracted or lost in thought or in a hurry.
