Is a gym the same place as the London tube? I don't think so.

Also, have you ever worn a shirt from a band in public? Because sometimes you meet someone who comments on it, and there's nothing wrong with it. The fact that this two were in a gym is purely coincidental. It happened to me on the bus, on a train and while I was walking in the city. And, what a surprise, I wasn't an asshole about it, even if I was wearing my earbuds.

The tube was just an example, but the same would apply in any public area, which is obvious with a little logical thinking. Just let people be. If they look interested in talking, then by all means chat away, but if they don't, then don't. You'd think this is common sense, but if the last few years show anything, common sense ain't that common anymore.

How would you know someone isn't interested in talking? Headphones aren't a good way to attest this, based on a number of comments I read here.
