I once had a hilarious encounter with a stranger while waiting at a bus stop. It was a chilly morning, and I was just minding my own business when an elderly man sat down next to me. He looked at me and said, “You know, I once had a pet parrot that could swear like a sailor.” Curious, I asked him how he trained it.
He leaned in and said, “I didn’t train it at all. I just let it hang out with my buddies!”
Just then, the bus arrived, and as we both stood up to board, the man turned to me and shouted, “And now I have to teach the parrot how to drive the bus!” The bus driver and I both burst out laughing, and for a split second, I almost believed he might just try it! It’s one of those moments that perfectly sums up how unpredictable and funny life can be with strangers.
