You mean you actually get a no-response when you're near somebody, look them square in the face, and say good morning?!? I've never experienced that and can't even imagine it.

Sometimes people don't speak to everyone they pass. I sure don't. That's just human nature. But a simple, friendly greeting is almost always returned in my experience.
