    This sounds like a US thing.

    People just don’t go to other people saying some random shit where I’m from. Unless they’re crazy, beggars, or tourists from the US. If you come to anorher person and don’t start your sentence with “excuse me” or “sorry”, you’re getting ignored.

      It’s not common but I have had this weird interaction once:

      Stop at random convenience store for a drink, take drink to counter, cashier looks up, sees my Dave Matthews Band shirt, and while doing the transaction for my drink says:

      “I know that band! I hate that band! Take your shit and get out!”

      It was confusing as hell. Who the fuck hates the Dave Matthews Band? 🤷🏻‍♂️

      It doesn’t happen in the US either. These posts are made up social media rage bait.

      Both people in this made up conversation sounds like douches.

        I’ve seen it happen when I was in high school. It was usually a call out between friends and 90% of the time it was a led zeppelin shirt. Never seen it between two strangers on the street though
