Friendliness is a subjective assessment and can be influenced by one's home region. Some of us think it unfriendly to not acknowledge a "good morning" while others may consider friendliness as simple as not being punched in the throat. Friendliness is also situational. Some people are friendly until they get behind the wheel of a car or until they get behind a slow group of golfers, see a bumper sticker that lights their fuse, or spot someone with eleven items in the express line. My hot button is telemarketers. With them, I fly my rude flag proudly.
