   Answer

2. Yesterday.

   Have to regularly for work so it’s most days.

3. A few hours ago

4. Every day

5. Yesterday, in an elevator. Nothing of interest, just a nice old lady being happy about good weather.

6. I chatted with the dude sitting next to me at a bar at the last Leafs’ game. The topic was how the Leafs suck and are disappointing us.

7. Meaning, I initiate it? I don’t initiate it myself. Also I don’t see much strangers usually, it is mostly people from my workplace (I work in a big company and here and there happen to cross paths with somebody I have never seen before. If you could that it may be couple of months). Also I don’t speak well the language of the country I live in, and that distracts many. So may be a couple of years.

8. Never

9. Everyday, most every place I go. My wife likes to make fun of me because I always find someone to talk to.

10. While skiing in March. I always speak to anyone I share a chairlift with. Ask them where they’re from etc.

11. Last week at church.

12. Yesterday.

13. Last night at the casino. A lady who was at the roulette table with me ended up in the cashier line behind me. Just chatted about how the nights gambling turned out.

14. Friday.

15. Last week. Sat next to a college student with ADHD. Never even caught her name. She was clearly a nervous flier. So I spent the hour and a half flight making her laugh.
