Girl on the NetIDEA: extrovert train carriages. Like those ‘chat to me’ benches, but a whole carriage of the train dedicated to people who wanna talk rather than just read a book or listen to music (through headphones, of course) and enjoy the scenery. Introverts can drop their extrovert mates off in those carriages so they have people to chat to, and extroverts will leave us alone to enjoy our quiet time.
Ms. Denie@girlonthenet we have designated "quiet" train carriages, and they are overwhelmingly a failure. People ignore the "quiet" designation during rush hour, and when it's not rush hour people are more likely to be calm and quiet.
Zaknafein@A_denie @girlonthenet there's an expression in Japanese (空気読めない - kuuki-yomenai) which refers to the situation where someone fails to "read the air/room".
Ironically, it seems "extroverts" are less likely to read those signs (esp. body language).
(I don't see myself as an introvert, I just don't like many people)
@ElectronicAcorn @A_denie that's a delicious phrase, thank you!
