We bought some double towel bars for the “big” bathroom the other day at Lowes. Trouble is we weren’t I wasn’t thinking. The towel bars are mounted behind the door, so because the double bar sticks out from the wall so far it wouldn’t allow the door to fully open. Tonight we went back to swap them out for a couple of single towel bars.
When we walked up to the returns desk the woman looked at me and asked, “Are you Brian?” She didn’t look familiar. I looked down to see if I was wearing my MMC Jacket which has my name embroidered on the front, I wasn’t. My name isn’t on the receipt anywhere… How did she know my name?
Donna was wearing one of these Ash Grey T-Shirts.
Started down, went up, back down, still down.

So did you ask her how she knew you? Maybe from your famous blog?
I would have asked…
I didn’t have to ask, she explained, she was read the front of the T-shirt. The “Ash Grey T-shirt” is linked to an item in my CafePress store that has an imprint on the front:
See Brian
See Brian Drive
Drive Brian Drive
Ahh, so she’s one of THOSE kinds of people.
I am forever doing that kind of thing. Last week, my step-son saw an imprint on his menu that said “Lisa 555-1212” (I would print the number, but I can’t recall). It was as if someone wrote the number on a sheet above the menu, then kept the sheet.
Anyway, our waitress introduced her as Lisa, and we asked if that was her number. She looked embarrassed and swore that wasn’t her number.
Now that I think of it, she may have thought we were trying to pick her up. Our wives were right beside us. Go figure.
Probably should have dialed the number – I bet the cell phone in her pocket would’ve rung. 😀
