I really only mind it when everything in my body language is saying "don't talk to me." If I'm wearing headphones and reading the paper, perhaps social interaction is not welcome (one time it was on the bus, so I had sunglasses on in addition to the headphones and paper, and someone tried to talk to me).
But I didn't mind when the random waitress in IHOP asked where I got my socks (knee-high rainbow toe socks from Sock Dreams), and I'll happily give directions to people who look lost.
