Default interference from another TX

Today after my last flight at the BARCS field in Richmond, California I was collecting up my stuff when I saw all the control surfaces of my plane going crazy. I had turned off my transmitter but had inadvertantly left the receiver on and it was getting some kind of noise from another guy's transmitter as he was flying his plane. When he turned off his transmitter the activity on my plane stopped. At first he said it must have been outside interference but when he turned on his transmitter again my plane started a boogy'in again. He said it would stop if I turned on my transmitter and, sure enough, it did and my plane responded normally. By the way, we were both up in the air several times at the same time and I had no problems then.

My questions are:

1. Is this normal? (I'm new to this sport)
2. Do I have anything to worry about?

Thanks,
