the reason I ask this question: there is this customer that goes to the coffee shop that i often go to.
i dont know what his problem is. he goes to random people and asks random questions.
example: today he asked someone "are you a psychologist?"
he asked someone else "are you a doctor? you look like a doctor"
he asked someone else "is that the new iphone?"
he asked someone else "what ethnicity are you?"
is that annoying? most people didn't seem annoyed, but I find it annoying, probably because i am more judgmental than the average person.
how do i know whether i am being the annoying "this guy thinks he is so cool but he is not" type of guy?

I have read all the forums and guides and can't find an answer to this without starting blind. I can talk to a woman at work or at a party, but at Starbucks or at the park, I don't want to be annoying or weird. The beginner guides are too advanced.

If they enjoy your company then you being social is good. If your annoying them then its bad.

Personally I don't ask bullshit questions unless it's something I was truly interested in knowing.
