But you push ahead, even in situations where people are stuck.
And now we’re back to bad assumptions and straw men.
I’m sorry but I don’t understand what the bad assumption and straw man is when you yourself said that you’re “the guy who takes a shot at a random conversation on the plane”

These two words completely mischaracterize the situation.

But you know there’s a chance that they’re bothered by you, that they’re stuck in the situation and you still carry on with trying to connect with them. What wording would you use for the situation?

I like to think of it as giving people an opening.
Make a comment or two that invites discussion. If it takes, great. Maybe chat for a minute, maybe for a while.
If not, oh well, better luck next time.
Which is which is extremely easy to discern, in my opinion. The fact that you clearly think otherwise is not surprising, but I do think it’s easier than you give it credit for.

A lot of people pretend so as not to seem rude. Also you never know how the other person will react otherwise.
I know you find enjoyment in it, I’m just saying that planes and such places where people are stuck with you are pretty risky.
