Some women don't want you to say hello to them or talk to them. [View all]

Some do though....

So make sure you read their mind first, then check your belly button for food and make sure you're not old. Because old people are just gross and are not supposed to have feelings of a sexual nature.

Make sure you do not say the second syllable of "hello" for too long or it will sound like Hellooo~~~! and that is not acceptable. Unless you're young and good-looking perhaps and even then, it is important to read the person's mind FIRST. Then it's okay. Maybe.

To summarize:

1. If you're old, don't say hello to women you don't know or try to talk to them.

2. If you're young and good-looking, there may be a chance to do so and not be creepy IF you don't over-emphasize the 2nd syllable and if your motives are pure and if you have read their mind beforehand to make sure they want you to say hello (not helloooo~~~)

THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.
