Today, a man started a deep conversation with me at the bus stop about life, death, and the miracles of things we take for granted every day. I was really enjoying it until he looked at his watch and said, "Oh shit, mushrooms make me lose track of time!" and ran off into the night. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while on my run, I saw a middle-aged man sleeping near a business condo. I approached him and asked if he was "ok." He grabbed my leg, held onto it with a death-grip, and moped about how horrible his life was - for ten minutes. At least the weather was nice. FML
Today, after being hella single through this pandemic, I was gently stopped by an attractive man on my way to the bus stop. He looked deep into my eyes, and I took my headphones out so I could hear him better. Then, he started moving nervously, took a breath… and offered me meth, before tweaking away. FML
Today, I after getting off the bus, I realized that the man I was talking to was distracting me so his "buddy" could steal my wallet. FML
Today, I was having a deep conversation with a woman at a bus stop about philosophy. Little did I know, her boyfriend was rummaging through my purse while she kept my focus. I’m a PhD candidate in philosophy, and it was the best conversation I’d had it months. FML
Today, I met a cute guy for coffee. Everything was going fine, right up until he started telling me about his alien encounters and super psychic powers. FML
Today, a guy hit on me. It's such a rare occurrence that I didn't know how to react, so I panicked and said "Sorry, I have to go!" Then I remembered we were on a bus, and just turned around and awkwardly pretended he wasn't there. FML
Today, a girl started talking to me at the bus stop. After it descended into an awkward silence, I jumped on my bus to avoid further conversation. She got on the same bus. And got off at the same stop. I swear the whole bus could feel the tension. FML
Today, I was taking the bus to work, when a man sat down beside me. The guy was nuttier than Ron Jeremy's ballsack, and had a face like a shovel and the worst meth mouth I've ever seen. I had to sit there for ages while he frantically muttered to himself and picked at my hair. FML
Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML
Today, I walked 30 minutes with my new boyfriend from my chalet to the local supermarket, cutting through the woods. It was dark, but the moon shone bright and we had torches. He was so scared, he startled at every noise and even cried. When we got to town, he dumped me, and left on the next train. FML

For some reason "ran off into the night" cracked me up. It just makes it seem that it was a mythic creature that you're not sure if you really saw or not

hmmmm, one can not simply be that stupid. you must be a real hoot to conversate with.

conversate is a back formation of converse, it is common to use. oh forgive my minor error of cannot, due to the fact I have big fingers and tiny ass keys on my phone.

No, 57, proper grammar says "converse". Conversate is not even a real word.

hmmm im not quite sure why this is even an 'fml'. he didnt harm you in any way and provided you with entertainment. sounds like a funny story to tell your friends. love the ending of this fml, good imagery.

Maybe it was one of those moments where he just felt the spirit of the holidays, he probably could have bad experience with this time of the year and he just needed someone to talk to.

Who cares he was on mushrooms, he was not hostile, was he? And you had a great discussion, win!

exactly my thoughts posted above. op was talking to a stranger who coulda been an ex con, sex offender, etc....so some philosophical man on shrooms seems the least of their worries.

19: Why assume that someone with a criminal record is automatically someone to be avoided? Obviously you should always be cautious with any stranger, but it doesn't help to stigmatize anyone who's ever made some mistakes.

I was just having a conversation about how thinkers on shrooms tend to overflow with ideas when high. I think that it's awesome that you had a valuable conversation with someone. Doesn't matter if he was high when it happened, just makes the story more epic.

Most of the time very deep conversations come from being high
