umm, i can't exactly imagine that the homeless have superior social skills, especially when most of the general public treats them similarily to how you just described.
and way to go on mumbling to yourself instead of showing him the decency to speak to his face. cause, you know, that requires you to treat him as your equal, and maybe youre a little above that.
as far as the dude not speaking up... yeah. kids and teenagers do the same thing. i know my 16 year old brother does his share of mumbling and voiding of eye contact. instead of ignoring him, i tell him to speak the F up. now in no way am i comparing my family to the homeless, but my logic says if society verbally shuns you, youre daily conversations prolly arent that extensive or advanced. again, that doesnt mean to grunt and mumble, but that's the way it is sometimes.
