Being polite - why so hard?

Why is it such a crime to be polite these days, especially for work-'mates'? and even friends???
I have always assumed that being polite is the way to go in modern life, but I don't know why I bother.
I say "Hi" to most people, and sometimes get a response. However, if I say "Bye" at the end of the day (at work for example) I always get blanked.
I am trying to hard and worrying for nothing?

Regarding them blanking you, maybe they didn't hear you. Or they could be asses you know.
Don't you mean Sid James?
I wasn't aware he'd been canonised.
Ah, you can always count on me.
Most people are polite and will say hi2u and bi2u.
I suspect you're not being clear if they don't respond. Or you are expecting everyone to run up and hug you, and they won't.
