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

I happened to be in London right as Brexit was popping off. I was standing in line at a restaurant outside an anti-brexit protest and started chatting with an older guy in front of me about it. He looked at me as if I was absolutely insane.
