The europeans are bewildered by the American sport of small talk. They would be so out of their depth just walking down the street when people start smiling and waving at them.
tbf I’m American and I hate that shit too. I hate when my coworkers do it, I hate when strangers do it. I don’t want to hear your lame repetitive take on the weather, we fucking know, we’re all in the same fucking weather. Just order your sandwich and leave.

I don’t know, smiling and waving doesn’t seem that much out of place in Europe, but depends on specific location a lot
Plenty of places stateside where it’s out of character too
