I started leaving one bud out when I'm in a public crowded place. You gotta be aware of your surroundings for many reasons, politeness being one
I'm usually aware of my surroundings even with the headphones. Apparently sometimes more than some people without them. I just remove them when I need to interact with others. If I really needs to hear the crap around me, like when I'm cycling, I use bone conduction headphones.
And if it's so crowded that I need to hear the people around me not to bump in them, then it's too crowded for me to be there in the first place.
