Today a random man poked me on the bus and asked if I "cooked Japanese or Chinese food". Then he wanted to know if I cook it at home. Then he wanted to know the name of "you know, those roll...things...that you fry..." and then he wanted to know if you put vegetables in spring rolls.
The strangest part of this conversation was that usually when I don't feel like dealing with people I put on my earphones and people leave me alone, but somehow this gentleman decided to persist and initiate physical contact which was...okay, more than a little irritating.
Here's a hint: if someone is wearing earphones and giving you short, terse answers? She doesn't actually want to talk to you. Please respect her wishes. Thank you kindly.
(Thankfully he didn't initiate until just before my bus stop so I escaped via leaving bus and didn't have to deal with "Sorry, I'm not interested in talking to you nor do I find your attention flattering" ordeal.)
