When walking down a long hallway/corridor at work (or wherever), what do you guys do

I confidently say hello while internally having a panic attack.
Henry please stop doing interviews or posting online. Seriously where is your PR guy?
Lol
Before that was a nightmare. Where the fuck do I put my hands!? It's half the reason I started smoking.
Thank God I got a cell so I could quit.
Being a good hockey-loving Canadian, all of my energy and focus goes into denying my primal urge to body check the hell out of them.
I know some people have anxiety, but please recognize that other people are people. If you're walking down a hallway, make eye contact then give a nod or hello.
Hell, this also works when going opposite directions on a sidewalk. Acknowledging someone's humanity is a good way to go from a potential mugging victim to just someone walking by. (There are competing lines of thought on that where half think "Criminals just don't like attacking people that are able to describe their face" and the other half think "Acknowledging the assailant as a person tends to make them see the potential victim as a person")

A small nod is usually enough after extended eye contact with a stranger. If I see the other person on the regular, then they get a dap,a smile, or a verbal greeting.
I just wing it. I'm usually too busy thinking about some other topic to really give it much thought.

Wave when afar.
Smile while looking vaguely his/her way while walking closer
Nod and vocally greet when close

I honestly just don't notice people sometimes, especially if I am in the middle of trying to solve some sort of problem. It's not that I intend to be rude, I just don't think about where I am beyond the fact that I am in the middle of getting to a destination when I am in that mood or have been working long hours.
That said I do return the greeting if I'm not lost in my own thoughts.
This is just what I'd expect a secret Lizard person to say.
I'm usually stuck in my own little world, just getting distracted by my own thoughts and not really paying attention to others.
Eye contact and a smile. Not the condolences smile; the internet has made me self-aware about that one, so I'm doing my best to avoid it.
Btw, I can't get myself to show teeth in these situations, just one with the lips. I find the teeth one to be weird somehow.
Anyone else?
And when I see a person "using the phone" I just laugh to myself thinking "sure, buddy".

Lol. My office has 2 bathrooms down the long corridor sooooo definitely eye contact and hi but with the exception they are walking directly out of the can you just hustle by lol ... Not always cool to lock eyes with someone just coming from releasing evil spirits .
