The oddest things get people talking to you

[Bob]

Needed to stock up with some food for the freezer (or more correctly, stock up with additional stuff). As I don't own a car, I have to be very precise about how much I try to buy.

Simple solution, strap the coolbag on the bike, put food in it as I find it and when it is full, that is all I can bring home. And it has the benefit of keeping stuff like ice-cream chilled.

So this is what I do.

So I'm standing in the queue, with my coolbag filled to the gills, when I notice the woman behing looking a bit bemused (Guessing she was wondering why I was standing in the "normal" queue with one item, instead of going to the 'sad singles'... er I mean '10 items or less' queue). So I opened the bag and showed her what I was doing and explained why I was doing it.

Result? A pleasant 10 minute chat while we waited to get to the front of the queue.

Never had a coolbag turn into a reason for a chat before!

Anyone else had conversations with complete strangers start up for some really odd reason?

These guys in blue uniforms keep wanting to talk to me, but I'm shy so I run away.

Goes both ways - every slack-jawed mouth-breathing improvident lack-wit bails you up and wants to ask advice/tell you problems/know what the jobs like/claim injustice, you can detect the 'vibes' of one of that type approaching about a country mile away

Never mind, it goes with the territory

Why would she wear thick(e) rimmed glasses on her butt?

To confuse you into not knowing if she was coming or going

You've just reminded me of another story - walking round supermarket, in two-piece leathers (ah, those were the days). Suddenly, a little girl had a giggling fit. So her mother asks her what was so funny and she replied "I didn't know shopping was so dangerous - look, that man is wearing armour"!

I just had to laugh. Either that or creep out of the shop before I went too red...
