At my previous company, we had all-hands meetings about every 4 months…A friend of mine would go up to random people in the company and say “congrats.” It’s funny how many people respond well to that.

“Hey [insert name here], I heard the news…Congrats!”

“Oh thanks! I’m so happy w/ my new car!”
“Thanks…Yeah that project was tough, but we made it through”
“Thanks, it feels great getting promoted”
“How did you know my herpes are no longer active?!”
etc.

Anyway, try it out some time… when you see an acquaintance after it’s been awhile, just congratulate them and see what kind of response you get.
