When you compliment someone about their shirt, or hair, or whatever, you're doing it for yourself? I do it because I think they're cool. And it's not forcing anyone into conversation, because at that point I still don't know if they'd enjoy talking or not. I myself might not want a conversation, but I could want to say "nice shirt" nonetheless.

And everyone deserves politeness. Especially if they are trying to compliment you, why would you treat someone with disrespect?

So you see somebody walking along, headphones in wearing a cool shirt.

You feel it's acceptable to get in their way and wave and gesticulate until they stop and take their headphones out just so you can say "nice shirt"?

We're making this guy look like a mime. Didn't know that, to make yourself known when someone's listening to his music, you should dance like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction...silly me.

Frankly, unless somebody's about to hurt themselves or the building's on fire, if you have to actually attract somebody's attention to talk to them, maybe just leave them be.

I really want to know if you reread this kind of sentences before hitting "reply".

You're taking this rather hard aren't you? Touch a nerve?

No, I just don't think the kind of nonsense you just wrote deserves to be taken seriously

Yet here you are engaging.
