Neighbor or someone from a distance: wave

Passing someone I know well: ironic nod up

Passing other men: nod down

Passing other women: white person smile

 
Usually nod down and give them a confident "good morning", and then without fail about 30 seconds later realize it's actually afternoon or evening. 
The percentage of interactions where I do this is unusually high.  Even worse, I'll say good afternoon at 8 in the morning or 8 at night, doesn't matter. 😲

 
Example scenario:  You walk outside to get the mail and see a landscape worker on your neighbor's lawn.  You also catch his attention so now you're both looking at each other.   


In that scenario I would just say "hello there" or something.  No head movements.
