I approached a woman at HyVee and I could see that she was kinda taken aback. So I mentioned that and she said it was weird for a random person to just come up to her and start having a conversation. So I said to her, "it is weird, but should it really be weird for people to be friendly to each other? And what does that say about our society when being friendly is weird?" She brushed that off. However, she did soften enough so that I could have a conversation with her. I found out that she works in IT. Normally, I would relate to that and talk about it, but this conversation was so labored because she just wasn't willing to go with it. When that happens, the conversation basically just turns into a lot of work to maintain it.
