Hush. Maybe it depends upon the topic you were discussing and or the mood of the people who are conversing.
If both of you are acquainted with each other, a close friend maybe, I don't think there's wrong about it.
Maybe it's unnecessary if you are speaking "English" to certain stranger asking him/her to pass your fare.
If you are accustomed in conversing to someone in "English" well I don't think there's wrong about it either.
The lacking info here is that....we don't have any IDEA why those people looking at you like you're someone from outer space.
