Will you pay attention somebody who want make conversation in public places?

Hi icesmile: I believe one can learn a lot talking to people. If I'm in a waiting room, on the cashier's line or anywhere that I have to stay a while, I talk to people. Some times they share their problems, or express their opinion about politics, cars, movies, music, and usually I get nice topics for my blogs and articles. I collect all the information I can from everybody and everywhere.

it depends on their demeanor i mean if they seem harmless or they just want someone to listen then i will listen until it comes time gor me to go or to do whatever i was in that particular place to do. I mean you never know maybe just by listening you may have made them feel like you are the first to care and you could potentially have brightened up the rest of their day.

Hi, Ice! I'm basically very shy, but I won't ignore someone who speaks directly to me. Yes, it is a lovely day. You can find this in aisle number ---. Yes, I've tried it before, and I like it. No, they don't double coupons here. It's really never anything of consequence; just passing the time of day with a smile!

Hey icesmile! I do talk to people sometimes on the bus or in supermarkets if they start talking to me! I am usually just being polite! I don't have a problem speaking to strangers, at least most of the time! There are times that I get some crazy people who want to talk to me on the bus and I can't stand that! I will sometimes actually have to get up and change my seat if I can and the bus isn't crowded! But, most of the time it is nice to carry on a conversation! There are times that I am not really in the mood to talk and I try to be polite! But, that is just what you have to do when you are out in public! I don't like to be mean!

I always pay attention to people who just want to talk no matter where I am. Sometimes people need to just get things off their chest and really don't have anyone to just listen. It is amazing how much personal information a person will tell to perfect strangers.

It actually kinda annoys me when they do that because sometimes I'm in a hurry.

it depends on the topic of the conversation. If it's just regular talk, that's fine, but if it's inappropriate (I had a guy try and flirt with me on a bus) then I will not engage in such conversation. When that happened, I switched busses. I got off the bus downtown, and ran to another bus that was also going to my destination, which also happened to be driven by a friend of mine. When the guy realized that I knew the driver, he dind't try and follow me on the bus.

If someone wants to talk, I'm willing to listen to them and to add appropriate comments.
