What Do Strangers Usually Ask You?

Have you ever stopped to wonder what questions strangers will ask you? Or, even more speculatively, what bizarre requests they might have?

Drinking a Pepsi on the phone with your brother while you relax and enjoy the scenic view, here comes a peculiar scene: a man across the street, throwing punches in the air and doing handstands. He even stops to ask you a question like, "Were you born in 1983?"

Understanding the Frequency of Unique Questions

Strangers don’t usually run up to me asking what year I was born. But familiarity doesn’t stop the curiosity from strangers. Many of these unusual inquiries occur at 7-Elevens or during work when showing properties. This might sound like a peculiar list, but the truth is, such quirky questions are quite common.

Workplace Inquiries

At work, the usual questions are about the bottom price on the land I’m showing. In the private sector, many people are more curious about the intimate aspects of my life. Some people are genuinely interested, while others just want to make small talk.

My beard has even earned me the honor of being invited to a local beard club. Thus, my beard is a conversation starter of sorts. Despite my reluctant acceptance, my beard still brings me plenty of attention.

Interactions with Others

The beard has also been the subject of some peculiar requests. A woman once asked if I would shave it off just for her. My enthusiastic but conditional response was that she needed to make me fall in love first. When I braid my beard, it attracts even more attention, with people jokingly calling me 'big beard the pirate' or 'a Viking.'

The Beard as a Source of Pride

Despite the unique questions and interactions, I take great pride in my beard. It’s not just how I look but also how it makes me feel. The beard is more than just a conversation starter; it’s an extension of my identity. It’s a story of personal growth and self-expression, and the questions surrounding it only add to its charm.
