I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but I know in different places in US, it is very common for people to talk to one another on the street. And in others, it's pretty taboo. So maybe where you are, it's simply not done. But in some places, it is. Even if you're not making friends with these people, it generally feels good to socialize with someone friendly, even if it's just a 30 second conversation.
