One thing I find a bit weird, and I suspect it started in America (but I&#x27;m not sure), is when colleagues pass each other and they say &#x27;how are you?&#x27; <i>and keep walking</i>, making it entirely obvious that they&#x27;re not really interested in how you are. Or maybe they expect some rapid fire response. Not sure. But I think it would be better to just say &#x27;Hi&#x27; if you don&#x27;t intend to stop and actually talk.
