On the subway, I can't imagine it would ever go well, those people have to only be doing it as a dare to us.
I have encountered this too many times on trails in otherwise very quiet places and that has to be the opposite because they won't even see that many people. I'm generally walking by them so there's nothing to do but go faster and find comfort in the fact that a person that oblivious will never go too far into the forest anyway.
