You are completely misunderstanding me and, at this point, I feel like you are intentionally twisting my words. I will try one last time to clarify and then I am done:<p>If you drive everywhere and you visually recognize a person simply because they walk a lot:<p>A) It is inaccurate to assume you are &quot;acquaintances.&quot; The odds are very poor they recognize you. Seeing me repeatedly as you drive past absolutely does not establish a social relationship of that sort.<p>B) Driving up to a pedestrian, rolling down your window and bombarding them with personal questions is asshole behavior. (Asking directions is okay.)<p>C) Assuming that someone is poorer than you, even with reasonable cause, gives you no right to walk up or drive up to them, pepper them with personal questions and expect them to politely answer. It is classist in a really ugly manner.<p>Furthermore, your replies to me here are personally intrusive and it is off topic. I commented on my personal experiences to make a particular point relevant to the question that was asked. That is not an open invitation for you to question me about my personal life or judge me.<p>I had two main points: 1) Repeated exposure can cause people to feel an unwarranted sense of familiarity and social bonding that has no basis in reality. 2) Doing something out of the ordinary, no matter how innocent or innocuous, tends to attract interest and&#x2F;or criticism. --&gt; Those two things can combine in a way that gets really problematic if, like the OP, you do not want people butting into your life.<p>I am done. I would appreciate it if you would drop it.
