Have you ever talked to a stranger

Panthro

If I'm out walking the dog and I see someone out walking a similar type dog, I'd probably say hello and stop for a chit chat about the pooch.
That's about it.

Remember that time you took me paragliding, then disappeared off over an alp, and left me hanging? I've never forgiven you for that.

The world is full of nice people to chat with. I've had chats with people in queues, waiting rooms, on planes and in shops and it's always nice to connect with your fellow humanity.

I'd agree that Skype might be different to real life if you don't already know the person. Great for people separated by distance, probably not so great for getting a real 'sense' of a stranger.

Generally, people are great.

Oh yeah, that's how it begins.

Strange twist to this thread, class!


I've never been PM'd on this, or previous accounts in 12 years of boards activity.

I must be one digitally ugly boring bastard, shame, because I think I'm gas altogether.


Love talking shit to strangers IRL though, love it.

A stranger is only a skanger you haven't met yet.

I'm too shy to talk to strangers but sometimes wave or wink at them.

Trains, supermarkets, parks, lifts, doctors' waiting rooms. You know yourself.

I commute every day to Dublin, I don't think I'd start winking at fellow commuters on the packed morning and evening trains, and I've never seen others do it. Could be considered a bit of a weirdo (at the very least) ;).
And I definitely wouldn't start waving at commuters either - might get booted off at the next stop!!

.22 rifle, obviously. Just jumped in to the last page of the thread so forgive my ignorance Duane, but what's all the talk of skidmarks and dirty underpants relating to?

I got talking to a stranger one time in Portmarnock Dart Station. He told me that a young woman was decapitated by a passing train there, because she did not stay behind the yellow line. I didn't like to suggest to him that it was probably not true. Of course it might be true.

I often chat with strangers when I'm out but if I see someone I know I often avoid them..weird.

It's not a dating website it's a hookup website. All of us regulars do each other all the time.

Ah, I'd need to get a big bag of cans into me before I could do that. That is not a euphemism on your username..... unless you're interested, in which case it was a euphemism.

Impressions of porn stars maybe since we all screw each other so much.

Does jacking off on Chatroulette count?

It always annoys me when people try to strike up conversations with me in the Sauna/Steam room of my local gym.

This is my time to get away from the kids and have a bit of a relax. I don't want to spend those precious 10 minutes discussing inanities with someone who is incapable of sitting in silence.

If it's a noisy tug, I suppose it does.

Or sometimes it all takes a sort of disappointing turn and they're actually a serial killer with a really dark, damp basement.

I have been known to make up mental stories to people beside me on a plane. I often fly alone so people always talk to me and I just make up mad **** to make it interesting. :D

I think that's brilliant because you never see them again so you don't have to remember the lies.
I remember telling a nosey hairdresser once about a cool job I had just because she was nosey.

The only thing is you have to make sure you're not staying in the same resort as them first. I once told people on a plane that I had a villa where we going that I bought from my husbands insurance money when he died.

I saw them about 3 times that week and I was hiding in case they'd ask where the villa was. :D:D

This has been quite a thread.

Now deebles that was quite a passive aggressive odd thing to bring up but then trying to hold the high moral ground by deciding that the person you are slagging off is making a show of herself because she replied to you. Outing herself as the girl you are slagging off? How dare she?

I’d say most people here are abit different. A lot of people also come from the long term illness type threads and re reg and live in after hours.

Some of the special interest sections like trains and motor sports attract a lot of autistic people. After hours brings all these people together in one big melting pot and it should be in the charter that they should never mate. One girl sent me a private message before about how dare I slag her because of something I said in a thread. A joke like. How dare I slag somebody in a wheel chair. How was I to know she was in a wheel chair?

It was only some after hours joke I didn’t even know she was a girl.

Leg end reject always strict me as a big country man that worked with horses? Maybe I’m mixing them up with someone else.
