in my mind.

You know when you get into an elevator and there's another person in there already?

[you smile, lean over to select your floor and glance across in their general direction....]

in these times, it's likely that they will either smile back and make light conversation like a socially competent human, OR....

they will whip out their phone and become engrossed with its contents.

I choose to perceive this reaction as pure intimidation.
