has anyone started a conversation with you by saying something you completely didn't expect?. or have you done it to someone

someone once started a conversation by asking me what I'd do if I had super powers, and another person wanted to know what is the capital of australia

I don't really remember a time doing it to anyone, I'm usually too shy and wait for them to say something

I ask random oddly specific questions a lot. My therapist was on her computer basically every session in summer of 2019 and she was always very involved in it. I finally said “are you playing solitaire?” I didn’t mind if she was I was just legit curious what she was doing every session. And she said “oh no. That wouldn’t be ethical. I’m just clicking through files”. The next session she didn’t have her computer in her lap so she must have thought it bothered me.

I’ve also asked people specific questions like “is your husbands name...?” Even though I have absolutely no clue why that would be someone’s spouse.

I word vomit a lot.

One time a colleague said “I smell, here, sniff my armpit” and got annoyed because I couldn’t stop laughing at her. She told me she’d been ill and unable to wash, which wasn’t funny of course but the conversation certainly didn’t pan out how she probably intended!

"If I told you you have a beautiful body would you hold it against me?" OK...That's just an old line I think I heard in a movie. It's probably a good way to get smacked, though.

My personal favourite is "...So...you like stuff?" I admit I am very random and not good at small talk.

Haha, yeah. Along with that one was "I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go"

Once I asked someone what their favorite color was. I don't know why. Sometimes I am random. I've also asked people who inspires them.

those seem like normal conversations to me. here is one for the books… I have had a stranger ask if they could name my baby for me. I had to explain to them my abstinence (and obesity) and tell them they also could not name my next pet.
