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?

What's the timeline of events here?
If you greet someone and they don't greet you back (with a hello, a nod, a wave, a smile, whatever) then I'd say it's pretty rude.
If you don't greet someone, and they don't greet you, then it's a blameless scenario where you've both silently agreed not to exchange any pleasantries.
So yeah, if someone doesn't respond to a greeting, that's pretty rude and ignorant (so long as they heard you of course) but if you're upset that someone didn't greet you even though you hadn't made the effort either (even if you were just waiting to see if they would do it first) then you're a crazy person
