I always do and it bothers me when someone doesn't. In fact, I consider this behaviour arrogant towards other people and arrogance, at least in my books, is a huge personality flaw. Do you agree? Do you greet people when you see them first time at work or at social gatherings? Or do you care at all one way or another?
On the flip side though, is it not also arrogant of a naturally extroverted person to expect everyone to behave the same way as them? I think giving everyone the benefit of the doubt and not prejudging is a better way to go, so I always take it as a person being shy rather than arrogant if they don't greet me back.
