Ha!

And as the extrovert in this imaginary scenario, yes. This is a limited, no-commitment conversation. I don't want to take up anyone's time, I'm usually just passing a moment making light observations. If you don't want to join in, my presumption is that you won't. Or that you will otherwise make it obvious that you have better things to do. This is why god made phones!

However!

MEETING MY GAZE DIRECTLY is some kind of extrovert predatory challenge! My brain lights up and says, "Yes? You would like to engage??"

But, like, I can usually read the 'nah, I just want to wait for my coffee in silence' vibe.

Ah well. I was clearly born in the right place, but moved to the wrong one. :-)
