Reply to comment by saltyt00th in Possible Interviews? by [deleted]

If you do it aggressively, sure. But that's not at all what I said.

Asking a polite question is not "cornering someone on public transportation" and if one were to conduct an interview as an assignment, one should assume that they'd be able to handle a simple "no" rejection and not be an asshole about it.

You can’t exactly leave a bus once a stranger approaches you. And how would you like it if someone stopped you on your way to your car to ask about your transportation habits?

Uh, I'd say "Not interested" and go about my day like I, and countless others, have done since we were born? You know, the way you deflect a social interaction in which you don't want to participate.

Have you never told anyone "No" before? This is an honest question.

I have and I’ve also been approached by a lot of weirdos in public.
