Once while driving home, I was following behind a Prius that had a " 'Cool Prius' -said no one ever" bumper sticker. A little later, we end up stopped side by side at the same light, and because it was summer, we both had our windows down. I looked over at her and said "Hey! Cool Prius!" before the light changed, I hope she appreciated it

    I've been in that other's person's position before (for tangentially related things: I was wearing a "trust me I'm a doctor" t-shirt). I had no idea what that hell the other people (multiple) were going on about.

    Any time one or more planets are visible to the naked eye, I approach every person in my vicinity and point and name each planet. Then I continue making my way to the next person who needs to know. It brings me joy.

    One time I was driving through kind of a medium-bad neighborhood in my beater when a couple of very rough-looking guys pull up next to me, the driver shouts over "Nice car, homie!" and I realize they are in same make model and color as my beater. We had a good laugh waiting for the light to change. Godspeed car twin brother!

    This is what "boys will be boys" should have been about

    One time I was at a pedestrian crossing with lights flashing and everything.

    It is completely understood in our city that pedestrians 100% have the right of way in all situations, but 200% at a pedestrian crossing.

    A dude in a convertible screeched up and screamed for me to get the fuck out of the way.

    I turned to him and I said man, I'm a pedestrian, I have the right way.

    He shouted "Oh a pedestrian hey?!?! Well you fuckin' look like one, buddy!!!!!”

    The woman beside him shrunk down in her seat and looked like she was going to crawl into a hole and die.

    I was riding my motorcycle (wearing my high-vis jacket as always) downtown one time and right as I was pulling up to a red light this guy steps off the sidewalk and makes a beeline for the front of bike. I’m sitting there trying to figure out what the fuck this guy is up to, is he going to ask for money, is he going to try to steal my bike, do I need to be ready for a fight? He walks right up to me and yells so I can hear him through my full face helmet “are you really smart, or does your jacket just make you look bright?” Then he just walks off back to the sidewalk. I went from adrenaline pumping high alert to almost falling off my bike laughing.
