You walk down the street? Â People expect you to look them in the eye and say a polite hello.

Browsing the baking or spices aisle? Â Someone will probably ask you questions about something, because everyone in those aisles talks to everyone else.
I have lost track of the number of times that people have joined in a conversation I was having with someone else, and the number of times I've randomly gotten involved in someone else's conversation - whether just to talk or because they needed help with something or whatever.
And no, I don't live in a small town. Â And yes, this is completely normal here. Â It happens everywhere I go here.
Hahaha, that's surreal. I know some places, generally quieter ones, have many people that are more friendly and social but I hardly expected it from large places or cities. I applied the same logic to Ul'dah and Limsa with that in mind. There is so much going on and there are so many people that it doesn't seem like much sense to me that anyone would deliberately walk up to people and essentially invite themselves to the conversation just like that.
However having said that, its not so much an idle moment like waiting in line when it comes to many RP scenes. While what you said may be mostly unseen by me and others, yet totally acceptable, I'd be almost certainly taken aback if I was talking to a friend or two while sitting down to a meal or whatever(so totally to ourselves lets say) and someone just decides to sit down next to us. Sure they could be nice and may make for a nice addition to the conversation but that still doesn't strike me as common enough to be called 'usual' or 'normal'.
