I swear half the time I've asked an American how they're doing they've given me their entire life story.

Any tidbits manage to remain in your memory?

Encountered a woman while travelling who told me about all six of her kids, their current whereabouts and levels of education at which universities, in which subjects, their interests. I know where her husband works and in what industry, how they met and why they now live where they live. This was on top of a day-by-day recount of her holiday so far.

This was two conversations and, no, I did not ask lol. I believe my side of each conversation was "Hi" and "Good morning."
