Oh my gosh, that cracked me up! Who does that?

My guess would've been that the person was building up to trying to sell you a line of wellness products and health foods.

I also have weird interactions with strangers. They pop out with random statements that make me want to say, "Who asked you?"

;-D

Did you drink some water? We can't have you drying up!

Sounds like the weirdness of my life, too. :>)

This is my kind of conversation! But the random person at store was a good adviser. Everyone seems to tell everyone to drink water! Why is that?

People are funny. The other day my friend's 3 yo had a meltdown at the store and some lady came up and told her she really needed help from the Super Nanny:) The only random people who talk to me at stores are ladies trying to sell me Mary Kay make up.

You know what's great for flavouring water? Butter.

Sounds like Portland (OR). People have opinionated food conversations with anything that will listen. :)

lol and that is why I love maine.....one summer I was in maine and this lady walked into the grocery store with NO shoes on I was like Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......????? Even tevas with socks would have been an upgrade lol

I have the insane urge to grab someone's cell phone in the local grocery store and whisper something like "He's buying panty hose and it's NOT in your size", then hand the phone back and keep shopping. Random conversations are one of the things that keeps me going into public places. Great grist mill for short stories. BTW, ever wonder if those poor canolas are headed the way of the now extinct Nauga?

Oh gosh, I know someone who would easily strike up a conversation with a stranger like this...heh.
