It was the fact of overhearing the advice the woman on the bus was giving a friend about a certain homeopathic medication that made the advice seem at all desirable. Had I known the woman and had she been speaking directly to me, I would not have taken her seriously--not for a second. My skepticism switches on only when I am not eavesdropping.

You should trust your friends more than strangers on a bus. Not on a train, just a bus.
Stop telling what I should do. You're not my mother. (Or are you my mother, "filmik"?)
I tell you what to do, not who I am. Or am I?
"Skingl" is not a word, and I feel dirty "verifying" it.
You are a dirty, dirty bird, filmik. (And btw, Are you skingl?)
