I find your negative view of humanity saddening. I think most people are basically good.

That is my experience as well -- most people are basically good.

But my personal experience has also been that the sort of people who ignore social cues and try and chat someone up who is wearing headphones while riding public transit or working out are generally less good.

I think there is some truth to that, especially on public transit.
