Rojie’s prompt for June 15 asks, “What’s the strangest thing you’ve overheard in public?”
I can’t remember the strangest thing I’ve overheard in a public place, but I’ll go ahead and relate my anecdote on a common, strange trick strangers use to crash into your personal space. They eavesdrop on what you and your companion/ friend are talking about, and pretend they are knowledgeable in that area. They hope that you both can be baited to talk to them. Then they’ll be so obliging that you’ll want them as your friends, and invite them into your current social circle. They’ll accompany you, spend time with you, and make you so besotted with them that you’ll invite them into your home. You can guess the rest of it.
