Talked to the cashier at the hardware store for five minutes yesterday about sink strainers. Felt weirdly good just shooting the breeze with a stranger. Made me realize how much I default to just getting my stuff and leaving. You're right, @claire_gibson, those tiny unplanned chats are like social glue. That cashier told me a funny story about his dog, and it just made the whole errand feel less like a chore.

Been there, @brian_fisher65. My floor's a skate ramp too.

Nah I noticed the opposite actually.
