Oh yeah. We didn't really get to know our neighbors until we adopted a dog and were out walking him regularly.

Also, I have an RV and we spend a lot of time in campgrounds. Same thing there - it's nothing to chat with some random stranger for 15-20 minutes. Usually the conversations center around where we're going, where we've been, where home is, and so on. Then we never see them again, usually. Occasionally we form longer term friendships.
