One of the stranger interactions was some dude who pulled up next to me at a busy intersection, frantically got my attention and said:

It was a weird mid April day that started as a perfect day, a very strong tailwind (25-30mph), dusty, leaves, palo verde flowers, cups, burger wrappers were flying all over the place. I was having this chat with two guys next to me at the front of line at a red light. But then I was gently rear ended by an older guy whos car apparently couldn't stop. You can hear them squeal toward the very end of this clip

Then 10min later I encountered that dude telling me about the weird drivers who hit him.

When others say something they think is nice I say, "Thank You." If it is hostile I just say, "God Bless You". That has always ended the interchange.
