Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Last thing was one of the ones I have the opportunity to do most. No words necessary, just a knock on the glass and gesticulation.

Some chick was standing outside of the bus shelter at which I'd just arrived, and I saw her Pikachu backpack with tiny unknown weeaboo characters hanging from the zipper's pull-tabs hanging low. She'd been walking around with it open, something that's happened to me before for hours on end without anyone telling me. Couldn't figure out why I'd knocked on the glass to get her attention until I pointed at the backpack full open, and mimicking a zip-unzip motion with my hands. She clued in and closed it, easy peasy, no valuables lost.
