So in my game when I am just wandering around my town...none of the neighbors come up to me at all. But as soon as I start looking for the money rock...here they come and sure enough...right in the middle of hitting the money rock....I start chatting with them. It's happened more than once now. lol
That is exactly why I've made Genji's catch phrase AND greeting "Slap me." He interrupted me one day to tell me about the rocks and I already KNEW that and the next day he interrupted me during getting gems!!! I was so mad that later when he asked about his catch phrase I made it "slap me" and another time added it to be his greeting as well.
