How should you act in public?

Question

When dealing with strangers in the public, are you wary or distant? Are you the same at home as you are when you are out? Or do you think 'You never know, those people could be ax murderers' and keep your blinders on?

At home you could act more relaxed.

Usually in public people sophisticated people act respectful towards other's space.

Usually people do talk to strangers. And if a strangers comes up to you, it's polite to talk back to them =]

Answer 6

You said it: you never know.

So... In public people should be respectful and courteous. The way you are in your home is going to be similar to the way you are out, but more laid back obviously.

In public people should watch their behaviour a littel more closely. Not revealing private information over the phone while standing in a group of people, or making sure people are'nt looking over your shoulder as you punch in your PIN number at the register, etc.

But I think overall people should be courteous. Why not?
