    Well, OP wasn’t donating money, was he?

    The scenario you brought up would be creepy too, but people tend to value money over the slight discomfort of creepiness.

      In what world is it creepy to overhear somebody saying something in a public place? Have you ever been in a social situation before?

        In what world is it not creepy to butt into some strangers’ personal conversation after overhearing details that were clearly not addressed to you?

        Have you ever been in a social situation before?

          There is context and nuance to everything. If you think this situation is ALWAYS creepy then I’m afraid you are objectively incorrect.

          Children walk up to each other on a playground and butt in and make friends happily. Why do you want us all to be boring robots that never interface?
