Shoutout to the stranger at the Denver bus stop who fixed my whole approach to meeting people

I used to treat every conversation like a job interview, firing off questions and barely listening, until a guy named Ray at a bus stop on Colfax pointed out I never let anyone finish a sentence. We ended up grabbing coffee 6 months back and now I just shut up and let folks talk, which is how I met my current roommate and two good friends, but your mileage may vary. Has anyone else had a random stranger call out something like that and actually stick with you?
