Some people just don't know how to start a conversation and will say anything that comes to their head.
Or, they’ll be like the OP and just ignore a new coworker entirely and never even say hello, which is also kinda rude and makes people think you’re mad all the time.
maybe they're introverted and want to avoid small talk? can't blame them
Sure, but it’s still kinda rude and makes people think they’re unfriendly, even if they don’t mean it that way.
is it really rude to just exist
I guess fuck me for being shy, right? How rude and selfish of me to just keep my head down and do my job.
Same. Outside from a quick hello (and I mean quick) to people I've deemed friendly, I'll only talk if the job I'm doing demands it. I won't be rude if someone asks me something, but the answer will also be quick and to the point.
Or maybe they have no opportunity to interact with the new coworker.
She took an opportunity to walk by, OP could have done that on the first day.
I mean, she also apparently hadn't said anything up to that point.
Maybe because I don’t have to meet and greet every person in the building?
