A nod usually does it, or the same greeting I would give them otherwise.
What I make a habit of is never having conversation IN the bathroom...ever. I don't want to talk at the urinal, and sure as hell not when either of us is in a stall. And furthermore, I can't stand people who do.
I'm standing here with my junk in my hand, all right?? Or sitting here for a little down time...Leave me alone!!
And stop answering your phones, too!! You CAN'T be THAT important...
Maybe it's just me...it usually IS me, and frankly, I'm sick of it...2 -

When I do my walk I pass people a lot and I can tell who to wave and who not to.
This is interesting. Seriously. How do you know when to wave/greet and when not to? What examples of body language give you a green light or red light? I'm genuinely interested.
Well ... when I pass someone who is walk by me , I do eye contact and see if they are going to smile or wave or just look the other way or look down.
You just get that since of someone is going to do it.
So 1) what if they don't make eye contact at all, do you stare until they do or until the opportunity is gone?
2) You look at them, wait for them to smile or wave first? How do you know they aren't waiting for you to do it first?
This is too stressful which is why I ignore everyone equally
Which is why "Pictures are worth a 1,000 words" works so well in your case. Instead of you describing your nekid body to me, I just get to see it.
Win win for both of us, right?0 -

I need to go burn my eyes, brain and ears. Thanks for the laugh!0 -
I usually avert eye contact. I try really hard to not think about it...thanks, because now that is all I can think about!
Since you brought it up tho I think about their hygiene mostly, if they wash their hands properly, if not what they are touching around the office that I may touch, where their hands have been. Toilet handles and taps...gross.
My answer isn't based on gender even tho your question was.1 -

I work with all women.
I avoid eye contact and I think the same thing about men tho, if I think about it.

Seeing my nekid body is a win for no one
You bursted his bubble, how could ya1 -
I just give them the stinkeye face while holding my nose, and hand them the spray airfreshner. Then I tell them good luck in there, & remember that if you leave another "Hindenburg Turd" for me to plunge, I'm going to hunt you down! Don't let it happen again, or I'll write up a warning for you. Even though you're my boss, and sign my paycheck, that's no excuse!1

The polite and Etiquette way is simple ...
When you pass by someone you look at them and nod , or smile , or wave ( whatever you feel computable )
It's just a smile or a wave.
If they do not do it in return then so what , at least you did it to show you're politeness .
I didn't see this answer before because Hicks distracted me.
If I wave or say hi to someone when we pass and they don't return it I'm confused for the rest of the day. Do they hate me? Did they not hear me, sometimes I mumble. Did they mishear me and think is said something bad?
Best for me just to avoid the situation
They were probably just checking out your hooters1
