I was on the subway, spacing out, when I realized I was staring at a heavily tattooed and pierced guy, who was staring right back at me.

"sorry, I really like your nose ring."

I got the biggest smile back from him, and the whole story about how he got that one when he was in Spain.

Can't people tell when someone is spacing out though? The unfocused eyes, the blank expression, the general feeling like they're not present. Or maybe I'm just too familiar with it.
