Familiar Strangers

There are people with whom you call back every day, or write off on the Internet, listen to their news and just talk.
There are those with whom you call up or write off only on urgent or important matters.
There are those with whom it's easier to see than talk on the phone.
And there are those whose names you do not even know, but they know you. When you live in a small city or have a certain range of hobbies, that is, people who recognize you no matter what.
So in, I have a familiar saleswoman in a store that knows which products I like and buy more often, and offers them in the first place. Sometimes we exchange news.
Still there is a woman. who sells tea on the market, she knows me in person, is already a little familiar with my taste preferences, and offers first of all what she thinks should suit me. We see each other every couple of months, but still I think that we are familiar.
And there is a familiar bus driver who often comes across to me when I'm driving home from the center, and he always asks me what news I have, and talks about my job and family.
And they recognize me at the post office and help to pack gifts and choose brands.
These are people who are in my life, but about which I know almost nothing. We cross for a short time, and then we again run up. I have almost nothing in common with them, but for some reason they are very happy to see. Once every few months, maybe weeks ...
I'm not even sure if they know what my name is.
And it's wonderful :)
