I’m wondering if it’s a Midwest thing, and depends on the cohort, but I’ve noticed that people will spontaneously meet and chat about all sorts of things (from inane to WILD trauma dumps). Anyways just my amateur anthropology lol I typically hear transit reflected as an experience where everyone keeps to themselves

In Rio de Janeiro this happened a lot. Me and my wife are immigrants in Brazil so if we were talking between ourselves some people just start talking to us, with broken Spanish, and we were like ehh. Now that we live in São Paulo dosen't happen anymore.
