Strangers on the street.

You ever meet a stranger on the street. For some reason, I have had people just strike up a conversation with me without ever knowing me. It would be rude to say no to speaking to the person but it is just eerie. My conversations have also been eerie. Today, I talked to a stranger about education. It had to do with black people and education. However, I didn't proceed to ask if he was in college or university but he was aware of the low admission rate of black people in universities.


My wierdest conversation had to do with a guy who didn't want to admit to his occupation. He ended up stirring the conversation to something that most would not talk about.


Have you had this experience?

 

i talk to people i don't know all the time...i think it comes from traveling so much...i'm pretty approachable so people stop me and ask directions...questions...it doesn't matter where i am grocery store...home depot...coffee shop...airport...walking down the street with my dog...it drives my son crazy...if he is with me he will ask, do you know them? then his response when i say no is...you always told me i wasn't suppose to talk to strangers but you do it all the time

 

Yes. :smt102

 

Agree w this, same w me and I think it comes from traveling so much also?

 

Yep, I had a guy on the T the other day tell me his life story.
