      Depending on the route, I’d argue that you should be careful what you wish for. Having said that, I found your response extremely wholesome to a Kenneth Parcell level.

      “Oh, hi, new friend! Is that a test tube in your mouth? You must be a scientist!”

      “Golly, that sure is a big knife! Thanks for defending all of us bus friends!”

        Interestingly, I’ve had a variant of this conversation, on the bus. Lots of people aren’t very aware of how they make the people around them feel, but most people aren’t really trying to bother anyone most of the time.

      Commute friends are great. You’ve got a pleasant conversation for the ride, and another source of information when your ride is canceled.
