There are unintended consequences for telling an inquiring soul the time while riding the bus. There are further unintended consequences for (politely) making conversation. There are also unintended consequences for flashing your diamond(s) and finally telling him (more obviously) that you are happily married. On subsequent bus trips (for he will show up again), he may ask (repeatedly) for the time to make sure that you are actually you before he begins talking. He may also ask (repeatedly) about your home life. Unfortunately, there are unintended consequences for responding to his inquiries with a little too much enthusiasm. When you say "great!" he may then ask you when you will start making babies. At which point you pray that an awkward avoidance viking will come save you.

And when your viking doesn't show up, you (creatively) switch around your public transportation routes and schedule and pray that his schedule doesn't (magically) change, too. These are my unintended consequences.
