Guy on the 7:15 bus in Denver gave me his whole life story about competitive duck herding
He sat down next to me around 7:20 with a folder full of duck photos and talked for 25 minutes straight about the national circuit, including how his best bird, Quackers, took second in 2019. I missed my stop listening to him, but honestly? Worth it. Does anyone else have a stranger on their commute who just picks them to talk at?
That sounds exhausting but also kind of great. I had a lady on the L train who told me about her parrot's therapy certification for 40 minutes once. You never know what you're gonna get when a stranger decides you're the chosen one.
