      It did happen to me a few times in Japan at cafes and stuff, like people sitting with me when it was crowded. The first time I tried talking to the guy, but I either broke some social etiquette of not talking or maybe he wasn't expecting the gaikokujin to know some Japanese? Because he was visibly not into it

      My buddy who lives in the northeastern US once accidentally made eye contact with someone on a bus. The guy immediately flipped him off and shouted "Whaddaya think of that, idiot?" from across the bus. I cannot imagine asking to sit down at a table with a stranger.
