We met strangers everyday in our life. I'm sure you all did.
I love to meet with people. It's because my work always involves with sales, so I have to meet new people every day.
There was once when I was at the airport at the restaurant, this stranger came to me and sit with me. Because there wasn't enough chair, perhaps.
So we talked. Until we got on the plane, this stranger switch his seat with the person next to me. Things began to get awkward as this stranger became more agressive (Hey... I don't mind if it's a lady..:)).
Until we landed and got off, he kept stick by my side and starting at that point, I became annoyed. Though I have politely say goodbye, he kept chasing me. I wonder, is he a gay or something? Hahaha....
So, friends.... What is your experience with strangers? What is the most memorable and unforgettable?
Would you mind to share?

My experience was also at the airport... it was just after Christmas, and I went to pick up Hun from his flight back from Alaska. The plane was delayed for three hours because of storms, and since we live 60 miles from the airport, it wasn't reasonable for me to go home.
I was upset and paced for a while, then sat down to wait. A teen-aged boy sitting by himself asked me who I was waiting for, and told me he was going to be getting on Hun's plane and going on to California.
We sat for a while longer, then he reached into his backpack and pulled out a tin of homemade cookies.
His name was Chris, and we sat eating cookies and talking and laughing until the plane came in. I introduced him to Hun, who also got a cookie, and then he was gone.
This happened over 20 years ago... but I still remember how kind and generous he was to me.

I'm pretty shy & awkward around strangers. I tend to keep to myself most of the time.

i don't particularly like to talk with strangers too much unless i see them everyday or very often, because i don't see the need to get to know them if i don't see them anymore. but the most weird experiences for me are strangers who just come up and talk to you like they have known u forever, and u have never seem or met them before, i find that very weird and uncomfortable.
