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 usually use 'heyyo' (cutesey 'hello') or 'hey there', though the latter is starting to fall out of use, unless I really am trying to get someone's attention.

They seem more logical.
