  • I have been known on many occasions to strike up conversations with complete strangers while on public transportation.... ? Sometimes the chat is reciprocated and other times met with absolute terror... ? 


    I've found the best formula involves never asking anything that would involve the other party divulging anything personal (where they live etc) as that can scare some people, and to leave the ego at the door and make fun of yourself as it puts others at ease.... ?
