My guess is they are the exception and not the rule.

I do. My wife is worse. Before dinner is over, my wife will know the waiter's kids's names...

Waiters at restaurants is kind of a different feel.

I speak to cashiers, etc all the time. It’s a social thing.

I hit on them. Does that count?

I know. Ahmed at the 7/11 in Lorton told me about it.

Certainly. The essence of social.

He was pissed when he saw the way his wife looked at me.

I agree with @Aqua-Letifer @Mik and @Holly

People are social and like to have interaction with other people. Any trend to decrease this is not overall good for society.

And yeah, don't like this idea at all. Heck, on Saturday mornings I take my kids to the donut store. There is a kiosk to order from and 100 times out of 100 I take the kids up to the counter to order from the cashier. The kids need to learn how to interact and, honestly, it's cute watching them pick out their donuts.

These are the days. I look back on those Saturday mornings going to karate, archery, the movies etc. with such pleasure. Then suddenly...'Dad I need the car...'

Yeah I can appreciate I'm in the good old days while I'm in them. That being said, grass is often greener... the fight to get a coat or pair of shoes on will give me gray (sorry, grey) hair. And the fact that I am unable to have reliable time between 7-11pm or 4-6am to attempt a workout, is hard because I know I'm getting out of shape. And general lack of sleep isn't healthy either, I feel it each morning. That being said, I am 100% in no rush for the kids to grow up.

It's too bad political tribalism has made social interactions with random people so precarious these days. And as much as I'd like to say "both sides are equal" in that regard, it's obvious which side has more bloodthirsty good vs evil judgmentalism.

They get older, they don't grow up. At least, that's been my experience so far. Some people who shall remain nameless have very unkindly said something similar about the oldest member of the family.

Maturity is the process of internalizing your cultural programming to the point that you believe it’s God’s truth.

You must hang out in very different places than I do. Or maybe you’re mistaking twitter for real life.

I'm not sure what you're responding to, but you can feel free to flesh this out.

Around here random social interactions aren’t remotely precarious unless you wander into the south Bronx.

If it will help to interpret my point charitably, you might concede the political polarization of our culture and the huge numbers of people who will full stop not share space with those who are on the opposite side of the issues they find to be of extreme moral or existential importance.

[jon-nyc]

I think in the real world the numbers are small and even then your typical social interaction wouldn’t reveal enough to trigger any negative reaction.
