    My best traffic safety moment was thinking that I was getting pulled over for DWB, only for the cop to honk and wave at me (which I reciprocated because I was more confused than anything)

    It wasn't until I got to the store that I realized why that all had happened

    I have a Sunset Sarsaparilla Sheriff's badge sticker on my bumper

    He thought I was a fellow :the-pigs:

        I got the same when I wore a SDF-1 Macross ship’s cap. I was, like, fifteen when it happened!

        Meanwhile I wear a Pukin’ Dogs shirt out, and everyone wants to talk obscure punk bands, which I suck at.

            That's not necessarily good. They're reactionary anti Vax weirdos. Their original singer killed himself in the 90s after his girlfriend who was doing sex work to supply their heroin habit was killed by Joel Rifkin. It's a sad story, but also the reformed Reagan Youth are a band you could apply the name to literally.

            That’s actually super cool. They’re one of the few bands I know and enjoy their stuff.

            No, it’s super awkward for me because the Pukin’ Dogs are a navy fighter squadron with cool iconography.

          Yeah, it says Bridges and has the spiderweb US shape. I guess it looks vaguely like a military emblem if you're just glancing at it or don't recognize the design. The lady who gave me the discount didn't seem to speak much English.
