  • Back when Supernatural was current I encountered a cashier who had the antipossession tattoo visible. I asked them whether it was from the show. I expected them to be happy that it was recognized but they just gave me a funny look and said “yeah.”

    Didn’t say much of anything after that. I mean, I was making a purchase so it wasn’t a close social interaction anyway.




  • My wife works at a company that auctions off machinery of all types. The week before an auction, they let anyone who registered come into their lot and try out the equipment. You’re not allowed to move it much, but you can try out basically any other function.

    I’ve operated all kinds of machinery I had no right to even try. Stuff that dwarfs me and/or could kill me at a moment’s notice. I didn’t usually try the bigger scarier stuff, but even machines like excavators, tractors, party busses, and super cars were enough to thrill me.

    My wife’s work wallpaper is of me in the driver’s seat of a firetruck. I feel bad about that one - I accidentally triggered the siren and couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. By the time I was ready to ask for help the yard crew had left. I really tried to figure it out or recruit help, but I ended up just leaving with it still on.
