eye contact

every day on the way and the way out of the building where i work, i say hello to the security guard. i look him (or her, rarely) in the hi, and i annunciate "good morning" or "good night". most people just keep their head down and don't look at them, or maybe, mumble something. but i go out of my way. mostly, they are polite and say hi back. they don't seem to appreciate it, really. i think they think i am somehow partonizing them.

there is one guy who works the desk on the other side of the building. he's younder, my age. i only go by this guy every so often. he looks me right in the eye and says it before i do. but it's weird. i don't like it. it's not like he is staring into your soul- he just does it in a weird way- it's hard to explain. he's the only guard I don't say hi to. when it's him, I look away. but like I said, I don't usually go by that desk too often. i think if he switched to the entrance by where i park, i would start going in a different way.
