Awkward Moments

It is so bothersome to be walking down the sidewalk and catch someones eye too far away to say hello. Then, both parties look down or away and silently walk by each other. Today this happened and I tried saying hello, and it was too late at that point and the man briefly stared at me and kept going. What is wrong with our society? Why can't we just smile and keep eye contact longer than 2 seconds flat? Weird.
