A guy on the 7:15 train spent the whole ride practicing his ventriloquism with a sock puppet.

He kept whispering to it about the weather, and the lady across from him kept answering the puppet's questions (like it was totally normal). Has anyone else seen something this weird on their morning commute?

Honestly, that sounds kind of nice to me. The world is so boring and quiet on most commutes, just people staring at phones. That guy brought a little fun into the day. The lady playing along is a champ, she made it a shared bit instead of something awkward. We call stuff weird too fast, maybe it was just two people choosing to be silly for twenty minutes. Why is that a bad thing?

Wait, you find a stranger doing a full-on pirate voice for twenty minutes just "a little fun"? That's a whole performance, not just a silly noise. Most people are trapped there, they can't just walk away if it gets uncomfortable. The lady playing along might have felt pressured to be nice, not like she was choosing to be silly. It's a public space, not a comedy club.
