Well, another one!

I usually give handshakes, around the city I currently live it's kiss on the cheek regardless the gender (It was kinda akward to greet guys with a kiss at first, ha ha). And if it's when I'm walking around I just wave.

A salute/wave thing
Or a shout

I like to jump up and down yelling hey/hi to my friends. Sometimes I like to walk up and just say 'yo' though

I do a nod sometimes, or one of those raise-my-eyebrows sort of thing with a nod.

But usually just a wave with a smile. A hug if I know them more personally. And a handshake for professional people (boss, professors, etc).

A greeting, or the nod if I already know them.

Handshake and a hi of first meeting

I voted for "something else" since I do more than one.
With acquaintances, I wave my hand and/or say hi.

With some of my friend's parents, I actually had to do this kiss-both-cheeks-but-not-really-have-contact greeting. Basically, just kinda like a kissing movement on both cheeks, but you don't really kiss them. O_O;

Handshakes are kind of formal and such. I give handshakes in business related greetings and sometimes to relatives or friend's parents as well.

With good friends, I hug them. Or simple, "hello."

With really close/best friends,
I don't need to greet them (properly 😛 )!
Heck, I can just be rude and stuff. 😮

They either come up to me and I pat them on the back, give them a hand shake then say hi or I completely ignore them. (low attention span + bad eyesight) 🤣

I used to live in a place where I greeted friends/family with cheek kisses, so I still do that to close friends sometimes.

Most often, I say hello and give with hugs.
In a formal setting, I do handshakes and eye-contact.

Ditto.

Although I do try to avoid handshakes. If you have a bad handshake it's all I will be able to think about for the remainder of our conversation...nothing is worse than having a "old lady/loose hand" handshake, especially when it comes from a male.

When I first came to the states I would always bow, people looked at me weird. O_O But for normal greetings I usually just wave and smile away.

For family members and friends- hugs and kisses. XD

Bae's post reminded me that when I was younger, if was respectful to put your elders' hands/knuckles on your forehead. I haven't done that sort of greeting in a so long though.

My general greeting is a wave and a smile.
Sometimes I hug my friends if I feel like it.
Kiss on the cheek for relatives outside of my immediate family plus some other people who don't mind if i do so.
Since masami mentoined it, hand on the forehead for the elderly ones.
Handshakes reserved for introductions and sometimes my sister. We are close she just doesn't like hugs and such.

Depends if they're close or far away. Or if I know them or not.

Generally, a wave if I know them really well; maybe a hug. A handshake if I don't know them.
