Typical Occurrence in Investment Banks

As I sit here in my coffee morning high, I realized the following -

This has happened to me multiple times, and probably has to you:

TYPICAL MORNING:
Me: Morning, how are you?
Everyone else: Good thanks, you?
Me: Good, good.
(end of conversation string until we leave)

However, what sometimes occurs is this:

Me: Morning/Hey/Hi/What’s up?
Everyone else: Good thanks, you?

Or even this:

Me: Hi (insert VP/MD name). How are you ?
VP/MD: Heyyyyyy! Good, you? (doesn’t know your name despite having worked with you/asking you to take your name off the presentation and put theirs on instead)

Thoughts/opinions/examples?

 
DaisukiDaYo:
The point of this was to detail a daily occurrence, just wanted to see if this funny/awkward thing has happened to anyone else .
Then why the pathetic line about how "they don't care . . . just like your family" or whatever it was before you edited it out?
 

Interesting..
