I was once approached by random group of highschool girls when I got out of my truck, one sheepishly asked me if I had a tape measure they could borrow.

I pulled out 3, asked if they needed a metric one, and then two of them started giggling. Apparently the two insisted I would have one because I drove a truck "that looks like it gets used" (dents, rust, and a busted front end from the previous owner) so surely I must have a tape measure and toolbox.

I guess they needed to measure their car to make sure a TV would fit, but I felt simultaneously helpful, and slightly judged lmao

    Nothing wrong with that. Most pickup trucks are man-jewelry for wannabe rural-sexuals, and these girls recognized a real man's truck. You probably had them swooning from your heady blend of testosterone and pheromones. They're just teenagers, they can't handle a vintage that potent.

    More like "you look like a woman who has her shit together and a purse".

    I’m a teacher at a university and of non university affiliated adults, for context, I’m not just super approachable.

    EDC things I’ve been asked for: hair bands, chalk, safety pins, cutlery, snacks, pain killers, matches, bandages, disinfectant, sun screen, water.

    EDC things I’ve never been asked for but have used: emergency poncho, glue, plastic bags

    EDC things I’ve never been asked for and never used: batteries. Maybe I should get rid of the batteries
