“Airport small talk with strangers hits different than regular small talk”
Agree
- Everyone's in vacation mode already
- You'll never see them again anyway
- Shared travel stress creates bonding
- Geography gives instant conversation starter
Disagree
- Small talk is awkward everywhere
- Most people just want quiet time
- Nothing magical about airport conversations
- Same forced politeness as anywhere
