What's the most unexpected or serendipitous encounter you've had with a stranger?

Stuck in an elevator with a stranger, initially awkward silence, then a shared joke sparked a conversation, revealing a surprising connection - we both worked in the same field, and her advice helped me land my dream job.

Lost in a foreign city, feeling lost and alone, then a kind local offered not just directions, but a glimpse into their life, sharing stories and laughter over a home-cooked meal.

Crossing paths with a street musician, their music resonated with a deep emotion I couldn't place, then they shared their story, leaving me touched and forever changed.
