You meet someone new standing in line at the DMV. Busy day. You don't normally talk to strangers around you (as you were taught, stranger danger!). But this stranger had a t-shirt on of your favorite TV show! You compliment their taste. They agree with your seemingly shared excellent taste in "the classics". So, conversation starts up. First around the show, but then you ask questions about their life, their circumstance. You find you agree more and more with this person. Their politics line up with yours. Their food preferences are eerily similar. They even ask for the sauce to be put on the side instead of the bun like you do! By the time your number gets called by Deb behind counter 7, you have fallen fast. You both exchanged phone numbers (theirs was only 1 digit different from yours), made plans to play Mahjong together (they also just got into it!), and you feel like you just met your soul mate / friend! You soul friend! (that should be a term) You meet someone new standing in line at the DMV. Busy day. You don't normally talk to strangers around you (as you were taught, stranger danger!).
