When I see "hey" written down, or sometimes when I hear it even, it sounds like people are shouting for my attention, like something akin to "oi"! It feels almost rude. Am I the only one that thinks this way, or do you see it as the greeting that it often appears to be?

I think i was getting attention in typing then it would be Oi! Rather than Hey! Hey is too much of agreeting. Perhaps it depends on the person who is writing it's accent or dialect...
