(86 posts)In college. We were fixing these old cars all day and some business was having a low key dinner party that evening so I volunteered to stay late and lock up. Anyway, I was covered in grease and had some old jeans on (these cars are messy). I was sitting at the front desk reading a Time magazine and drinking a Mountain Dew while the party was going on. About five guys at the party thought I was a homeless person who wandered in and one grabbed me by my collar and literally threw me out the door. He said he was gonna call the cops for entering a private function and "stealing that guys pop and magazine he was reading." He wouldnt believe me when I told him I not only worked there, but I was "that guy" who he saw reading and drinking the pop. I had to call my boss to come from home and tell the folks to let me back in to my place of work.
later that evening I had to give everyone a tour of the museum. I was reaaaal enthusastic about that.
Lucky we dont have stand your ground laws in my state. I would be shot dead on account of dressing like a car mechanic in a car museum.
