Random story
So as you know, I have been taking public transportation for a while now. And in doing so, I generally see the same people quite frequently. I see the Bus drivers especially more often than anyone else, so I naturally want to know their names. I dont know why this is, but I figure I see someone every day, why not find out their name?
There's this one woman bus driver I see almost every day and the first time I asked for her name, she refused to tell me. From that point on, I was determined to continue to guess her name until I was correct. Plus, she's cute, what's the harm in a little game I never intended to win?
In keeping my promise, because I'm just crazy like that, every day I saw her, I gave her a new name.
Today was the day my guess was finally correct. I was just standing in line to get onto the bus and the name just formulated in my head. Introspectively, I randomly thought of a name I've heard Aussies use (I think to define as some random female) and chose it on impulse. When I said, 'good morning Sheila', her expression went from her usual smile to that of shock.
"What did you say??" She said wide-eyed.
"Um, good morning Sheila?"
"H-how did you come up with that?" still in bewildered surprise.
"How did I come up with it? I dunno, I was thinking about Sheila E" (lying because I didn't want her to think I was calling her some Sheila) still clueless as to what she was asking...typical.
"My name, that's my name!"
"You're kidding me!!!" She showed me her bus driver ID...yup...Sheila!
I think my reaction was enough for her to see that I guessed her name at random. I was totally caught off-guard because I never thought I would ever guess it. Hell, I started with 'A' and decided to work my way up the alphabet. Once I ran out of 'A' names, I decided to just start picking names at random...usually while I was just stepping on board the bus.
Honestly, I thought it would never happen, and quite frankly, it was fun coming up with new names every time I saw her. It was like our own inside joke and now I don't know what to do. I feel that our little game just ended too quickly and now I'm struggling to figure out how to replace it.
The end.

That's cute. Does she know your name? You could make her guess.
I told her my name when I first met her and as soon as I found out her name.
That's wild!
