A very interesting point.
In my experience, the same thing happens - any sensible, normal person says nothing or, if they have a question, asks it.
The only people I have ever encountered who respond in the manner that big_white_dog has have been the rockport-and-tracksuit-wearing, nasal-screeching, acne-ridden types that hang around outside offlicences and accost people, asking them "How, Min...Yergonna Gan Buy us some peeve, liiiiike?"
