The most memorable strangers you've ever met.

I met an old man a few years ago at a rather dull social engagement. In a room full of uptight individuals, this guy was a shining beacon of entertainment. He spouted off one-liners, cracked jokes about how boring everyone was at the engagement as everyone turned their noses up at him. Dude had me laughing so hard I literally had tears in my eyes. At one point, the man's son walks up to him with a very stern look on his face. You could clearly see that he was rather pissed off by his father's antics. When I hear the old man reply.. "Son, I'm 92 years old. In five or ten years, I'll be gone from this pace and I'll be damned if you or anyone else stops me from enjoying each and every second of it." I bought the man a scotch and walked up to shake his hand. I find myself thinking of him every so often. It's been several years now, and I really envy the man's ability to be.. just so damn happy at such a point in his life. Have you ever met someone briefly that you still remember to this day? Lets hear the story.

    I cannot even begin to give this guy justice. It was in a group on steam where I was just hanging out in the teamspeak and there was this guy who we just hit off this huge 3 hour long conversation about the universe and he was so crazy I couldn't even believe it. He started off treating me like I was someone special, but eventually turned into a hateful bastard who would give me shit every time I was around him. I've never met anyone as intelligent as knowledgeable about the world as him who was also the biggest asshole I've ever met. He was so cool. He also talked like he was a girl except said he's straight. Total 2 faced manipulative weirdo. He was also a professional counterstrike player. I was obsessed with him for a long time when I used to use steam.
