My barista pointed out the tiny flowers on my coffee plant and called them 'jasmine-scented', which I'd never noticed in my own kitchen.

She told me to check for them at night when they open, and now I'm obsessed with watching my plant's 8pm bloom show every evening.

Had a job in a 1920s apartment building in St. Louis where the floor was so out of level it changed how I prep for everything now.

I finally gave up on skipping the opening theme songs after a marathon at Anime Expo.

A guy at the county fair told me my twist was wrong

I was showing a simple fire poker with a basic rope twist at our local fair in Springfield last fall, and this older man walked up, pointed right at it, and said 'You started the twist from the wrong end, it'll never hold right.' I've been doing it that way for maybe five years now, and honestly, I'm not sure he's right, but it's been stuck in my head ever since. Do you think the starting point of a twist actually changes how strong it is?
