On the bus a few weeks ago:
Ex con with half a hand missing: ''Most people look at my hand and are not impressed by what they see''.
Me: ''Hmmm....erm...hmm..erm..''
Ex con with half a hand missing: '' Would you like to get off the bus and smoke a cigarette?''
Me: ''I'm sorry but my stop is further up the road so it wouldn't be convenient getting off the bus here''.
Ex con with half a hand missing:''Ok,no problem.My stop is further up the road too.''
I'm about to get off when the bus reaches my stop .We shake hands and he goes: ''Nice meeting you
and thanks for chatting to me'' to which i replied:''Nice meeting you too'' and made my way home.
It's only the last fragment of the whole conversation as we spent most of the journey talking to each other.
It's not the oddest chat that i've had with someone either but the last bit about getting off the bus to smoke a fag perplexed me as it was neither of us's stop.
