Actually, I think I feel closer to you than my actual neighbours (except when they're partying at four in the morning and I want to sleep). Internet is a funny thing...
Yeah, me too. If anything, being nice in a situation that doesn't really call for it gives you the element of surprise. I remember once I was travelling long-distance by bus (on one of those night buses) and there was this couple that kept giggling and whispering to each other. In a bus, everything carries and their lovey-dovey conversation wouldn't let me sleep. Perhaps they felt safe in the fact that they were speaking in English and over here it's unlikely they'd meet somebody who could understand them... but I was only a couple of seats away, and was growing considerably fed up by it all (believe me, the kind of things they were saying to each other are not the ones you want to hear when you want to sleep). So I side up to their seat, and ask them, in perfectly polite English, if they could please lower their voices, since people were trying to sleep. The look on their faces... XD
They apologised and stopped their giggly-lovey-dovey chatting, and I was able to go to sleep without being accosted by unwanted mental images. ^^U
