Learning how to greet a dog

Greeting dogs is about learning what each individual dog is comfortable with. It is annoying and pretty stupid when people just approach dogs and stick their hands or face in front of a dog, just because they have met one in the past!

Not every human is friendly so why do we expect dogs not to have individual personalities?
