It happens depending on where you are.
In the East Coast? Mind your business.
In the West Coast:
Someone made conversation with me in the toilet. "Good water flow, yeah?" He said.
As a dude, most people only give me small talk, just to break the ice and explain nobody is a threat. But I can see as a woman, most small talk is a lead up to something else.
I figured out I have to say hi or hello to anyone going into the waiting station, just to let them know I'm not a threat, but ironically, my own voice breaks with fear, because I have to share a space with another human, and I'm on edge the entire time.
What's a waiting station?
Bus station, but I short circuited.
