What is one small, positive interaction you've had with a stranger? (lemmy.ml)

The other day, I was on a crowded bus for an intercity commute, and was sat beside someone who was reading. So I got my book out and started reading as well. At the end of the trip I asked her what she was reading and what it was about, and added the associated series to my reading list. I also told her about my book. We parted ways and it made my day a little brighter. Does anyone have any similar stories of brief good encounters with other people?

"Is that the new pope?"

"Yeah!"

"Is he doin a good job?"

*4 second pause, looks back at photo
"Uhh, yes. He's doing a good job. Did you know he's from America!?"

I thought the serious 4-second evaluation period was funny. Good to know he's doing a good job. This was at a Catholic thrift store yesterday.
