A moment of silence?

Depends on what we're talking about. With my best friend we usually swtich to English and continue talking.
I also usually speak in Russian, so if the person that passes doesn't seem to know the language I'll just continue.
But from time to time it happens that I can't avoid being heard/understood so I just hush up, and wait untill the person passes.
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.
Usually I don't, more likely one of us will make a comment about the stranger after that.

Nope.
lol, today a couple of Brittish people walked past us, (there was some kind of festival with lots of countries)
and as soon as they reached us, they stopped talking, until they thought we couldn't hear them anymore ^_^ I laughed my ass off ^^
Nah I don't, but I can't help it if my friends don't want to speak when there's someone walking past, so I have to wait as well 🤣
I find it funny when people do it to me when i'm walking past them. I always always notice. As if i'm going to understand what the hell they're talking about anyway. It raises my awareness of them when they fall slient anyway, funnily enough.
hell no. i dont care what anyone hears. its not like ill ever see them again
i just keep on talking,its not like im talking about something bad.and besides what does he/she care if i talk we'll only pass each other once anyway...
but if its a cute guy... then i stop,stare and drool.ahaha.

Lol, Like hell i would stop. The time we have is so limited, that i wouldn't want to waste even a sec.
unless, I'm talking about something that might make me stuck in jail -_-
It depends. If me and my friend will be the one passing by some1 else, then we will stop (usually we will split and pass by each side of the stranger) more cause it will be disturbing to him/her than it's not like we don't want other ppl to hear us.
Also depends with whom i am walking, i've got friends that will not cease talking even if their lives where threatened! 😛

Occasionally, it depends on the subject of discussion.
Or we just switch to another language if the person doesn't seem to know said language.

No. And I hate when I am that stranger.
voted no, but it depends on how the stranger passes by.

Not unless it's a cute guy and we both paused to check him out.

Depends on the situation... A known person/friend, I suddenly raise my volume and start saying off all the scandalous things/activities/weaknesses/tantrums he/she was involved in...
An unknown person or the conversation is about something I can't let anyone hear... I suddenly change topic.
Friend : What then?
Me : ... and then I saw the two of them get lovey dovey in the corner of the empty class...
Me : ...but it's also interesting to know that any normal car with a 6L engine is easily faster than those tonne wise huge Diesel Engines, though they develop more torque and power.
Friend : Eh?? O_o
Never go silent. In case of total strangers, just continue talking... like if there was no one around you.

Unless I'm talking about something REALLY private, then no, I don't stop my conversation. You're more likely to draw someone's attention to yourself if you stop than if you continue to act normally and continue with the conversation.
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
