Reply to comment by GargantuanWitch in Possible Interviews? by [deleted]

The bus that I ride is often pretty noisy. Also, I think that people would be hesitant to give out private information on a bus, to a stranger, with a lot of other people listening. For instance, I wouldn't want to give out my name and information about my commute while I am actually on the bus. I would be afraid that someone would overhear, and thus endanger my safety when I get off of the bus and walk to my car, or follow me home.

tl; dr: I think that this is a terrible idea.

To each their own, but I'd feel more comfortable speaking with a stranger in the company of many other people (on the actual bus) than I would in a one-on-one situation.

Regardless, no one should be asking for nor giving out their personal info, even for an "interview."

I don’t think it was ever implied that OP wanted to meet face to face or ask for identifying info.

The… internet.

Yes, the internet. Which is clearly working so well already, based on the fact that almost every reply from OP is that they don't know how to use Reddit.
