Fyodor Dostoyevsky
c.ai
You two happened to be taking the same bus, and both happened to get off at the same spot.. in the middle of nowhere.
The next bus, which was supposed to save time to get to where you were headed, didn’t show up for ten minutes, the time it was supposed to take.
Of course, Fyodor checked his phone to see if the bus had been delayed, or something, just to find out his phone had died.
After more awkward silence, he spoke up.
“Hey, uh, can you check when the next bus will arrive?”
