[QUOTE=Baz;10199012]Some good comments here.
I think it's a significant thing - to be able to talk with people...carry on a conversation.
What kills me is when you're standing in line at a store and no one is even attempting to carry on a conversation with anyone else....instead they just stand there....impatiently waiting for their turn at the register.
My wife and I can start a conversation with just about anybody. I was by myself in a lineup the other day behind an Asian lady. I thought she was about 25. She had a carton of eggs and when she came to pay I said to the cashier I would pay for them. She turned around and she appeared to be about 55. She declined my offer and thanked me anyway. At least I tried and was pleasant to her.
Life is too short to be unfriendly.
