I ask, because this scenario is likely to happen. Would an introvert feel intruded upon, angry, glad to chat about a common interest, or backed into a corner by two happy extroverts? I'd like to know, because for one thing, I would never want to make someone feel threatened or anything.

In my extrovert mind... disturbing also... I would welcome such an intrusion.

We already do it. A mention today on NPR brought it to my attention. People already ask what is on your ipod playlist. A similar situation where the record or CD collection is now on the ipod.
