But I don’t think she cared. She talked to anyone and everyone in the store.

Did you share that you are also from Pittsburgh, or like me, couldn’t you even get a word in?

I am like you, happy to talk to people but not really much of an initiator of conversations. I was at a Kinko’s here in VA and a woman came in and started talking to anyone and everyone and was as nice as can be. Turns out she was from Pittsburgh and I had to smile to myself when that bit of info came out. I think she told everyone her sister’s life story (her sister lived in VA and was selling their house…she came to help with the move…she was making a copy of a family photograph…). I was amazed at the information she shared within a span of 10 minutes or so. I wonder if it ever comes back to haunt them??
