I did this one and just got threatened by the guy, this was on a packed go train after a jays game last year as well!

LOL.

Normally I pretty much ignore people on the transit, and GO. But sometimes someone says something to someone beside them, near you, and you end up saying something yourself and it's an all friendly chat. It happened on Saturday after the train I was on picked up the post-baseball crowd at Union - and the 14-1 (or something) score was worth saying somethin about. I've never had a threat or even an ugly look under that kind of circumstance. So what's the difference?

Is there an expectation of privacy - but some of them are shouting so loudly at the phone, and the phone is loud too, that it's far more public than a quiet conversation of a pair of people nearby.

Oh I meant when you talk to someone to let them know what they're doing is unwanted.

When I went to NYC I was surprised at how many strangers would chat each other up because they were bored, unless it's a game or something people here seem to keep to themselves.
