You know who likes talking to people like you on a short train ride? This guy:


Go find that guy.
How you think not caring about talking to strangers in just a Calgary thing is beyond me, but hey, welcome to the city!

What an intelligent post.

Not referring to having a conversation with a stranger. With a friend, wife, etc. Even coughing, sniffing. But i digress.

Don't ever diss a post with Outside Dave in it.

Ever.

If you're getting dirty looks on the c-train for having a conversation with someone you know, you're probably yelling. Or talking about something inappropriate in public.

If you actually believe people are staring at commuters who are having a normal conversation at normal volume on the c-train you're probably very self conscious if not paranoid.

Right, so your initial "uptight and judgmental calgary" comment was based on the fact that nobody wants to hear you blather to your wife or coughing and sniffing on the morning commute? Guess what? Nobody wants to hear other people's loud headphones, and nobody wants to breathe farts and cigarette smoke either. This isn't a Clagary phenomenon... Go ride a train in any other city in the world, and your stupid conversation with your wife and your "coughing and sniffling" will be just as annoying and disgusting. Just shut the hell up and go to work.

"Hey, baby.... I miss you"
"zz-you just left the house-zzzz"
"but yer sooo purdy...cough cough"
"zzz-hon, I'm trying to do my make up, can you call me later-zzz"
"sniffle, but you're muh BABY! I miss you already!!"

Like, seriously? You can't take the train for half an hour without subjecting the people around you to this crap? And you can't take a shot of robitussin before you get into a crowded area? Uptight? Yeah, I guess you could say that. Uptight about people that cough and wheeze in crowded places, and then need to have some f***-tarded conversation with the person they just saw 11 minutes ago, and force everyone else to listen to.]

But I digress.

At 7 am, I don't even want to talk to people I like, never mind people I don't know from Adam. I just want to drink my coffee in peace, and if I'm awake enough, play a stupid mindless game on my phone. Mostly, I just want to sit there and try and wake up.

You wouldn't spark up a conversation with the person next to you about various health problems?

I'm sorry that it's not as riveting as a conversation with your wife.

If she's hot, there's no excuse not to talk to her. What a great way to start a morning!

Thanks! Must be the energy I save not having to think up new usernames.

I actually lol'd. I kid you not, some random guy who looks eerily similar asked me to go for "wobbly pops" with him.
