If someone wears headphones but smiles at you when you see them (for weeks) - that someone might be interested in discussion with you but not discussion with people generally. The actual cues are more nuanced though (body language, context, vibe, etc). Harassment is defined by the person being harassed - which is why this is not a "one size fits all" situation - some people might feel harassed when being approached without headphones (I feel that way sometimes, when approached by certain people). | |
| Mar 6, 2018 at 16:31 | comment | added | mcalex | I would suggest a definition of harassment includes attempting to make conversation with someone whilst a clear sign of wanting to avoid conversation with strangers is in place. And, as you say harassment is unacceptable. | |

That said, the actual cue is a lot more subtle than that - if I'm smiling towards someone in a cafe that I've seen tens of times while wearing headphones, I would personally be OK with interaction. | |
