Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

Well let’s give you some proper context as to why this was a positive encounter . I had finished high school and I was having a pretty hard time getting a job . I’m talking months of walking around the town I was living in at the time every day for several hours each day applying and reapplying for jobs . It was a horribly depressing period of my life . There were a few other things that were dragging me down at the time but we don’t need to discuss them in order for you to get my drift . My head was in a negative space , end of backstory .

So one day a few months into this job search I was walking after submitting an application to a place I had already submitted an application to several times before and I was just done with life . As I was walking around with what I thought was the most defeated spirit around a random teenage boy walked up to me . He said he was starting a lawn mowing business and he was wondering if I’d join . Now keep in mind I had never met this kid before but I was desperate at this point and he seemed like a nice enough guy so we walked together for a little bit and I gave him my number on the off chance that he actually does get the business going .

The kid helped put me in a better mind set and I do thank him for his offer even if it turned out we would never meet again . Of course there is another reason I remember this encounter so well . At one point in the conversation he randomly says ” You know , there’s nothing better than pussy …” Then he notices my confused face and follows it up with ” Except Jesus you know . ” . I can’t tell you how hard I laughed at that . I hope that dude is doing well these days .

Moral of the story : Sometimes the weird guy is exactly what you need . That’s all for now , hope you all have a nice day !
