I ran into something similar. In Ireland I'd be walking into a pub (not, you understand, that I spent a lot of time in pubs, this is just an example!) and a man coming out would meet my eye and shake his head from side to side.
At first I thought it was a silent comment on my dress (bike shorts) or my beard, but eventually I figured out it was the equivalent of a greeting head nod.
