"We met on the train."

[jks9199]

It is sad but true... we've lapsed into a society where it's "leave me alone, don't talk to me, don't touch me, don't do ANYTHING with me unless it's at my/your place of business... and so on" ....

I chat up people all the time just to make friendly quick banter... t'ain't skeerd ... if someone has a problem with that ... guess what... it's THEIR problem, and I feel sorry for them.

Thanks for sharing that... lets people know that it's OK to be human and to be friendly.

There are lots of reasons people don't talk to strangers on the Washington Metropolitan Transit System. Not only do you have a very diverse clientele there -- but you've got a lot of people who are very Type A, very dedicated to work -- and often who can't talk about work. Lots of DC still shuts down my 9:00 or 10:00 PM on week nights.

There are 7 billion people on this planet. That means that even you're a one in a million kind of person, there are 7000 people exactly like you.

Scary thought!
