I want to write some reader-insert fics, but instead of romance you're a tired traveler on the Greyhound or Amtrak and the character is the weirdo sitting next to you.
The thing to remember is the random strangers on Amtrak are always much nicer than the bus strangers
That may be true, but nice and weird can absolutely overlap. During my last Amtrak ride, there was a guy talking nice to the lady who sat next to him. He wound up giving her a foot massage, and her sock went flying and landed on my lap.
I mean naturally, but the weirdo at the bus isn’t a polite weirdo
