A captive audience for 15 seconds at which point they have a built-in reason to leave though

    That's 15 seconds too long. You're not entitled to annoy people just because they'll be able to leave soon.

    That's a faulty arguments, people are also not entitled to not be annoyed by the mere existence of others choosing to live their lives in a way that doesn't actually hurt anyone.

    I think blanket ruling that "trying openers" is "annoying people" is invalid. Yeah, it might be annoying most of the time, but so are a lot of interactions. If you follow that road you'd end up with anyone who talks to someone ever deserving to die in a fire which I think is unreasonable.

    If the worst thing that happens because you shoot your shot is you annoy someone for 15 seconds, then whatever. Take no for an answer is all I ask.
