  • Allegedly my great (maybe great great, I don't know) grandmother tried to murder her husband by putting rat poison in his morning coffee. I don't know if the forensics back then would have been able to identify that, but fortunately it didn't matter because apparently rat poison floats.

    I was never told what happened to her, though.

  • I don't think I've ever met a service industry person who liked it when their name was used by someone they didn't know personally. It certainly made me uncomfortable.

  • When I was signing for my house, the attorney stated this question as an example of the things to which I would be agreeing while signing the contract.

    I told him that the question was being debated and briefly described my understanding of why.

    He took it well.

  • I once worked in an IT environment where several very expensive servers and their accoutrements were prepped for installation, then put in an empty, locked office for a long holiday weekend, after which the servers were to be installed in our data center.

    After the servers were put in temporary storage and my team had gone home for the day, there were some construction guys doing some kind of construction work in the area directly above the empty office. Whatever they were doing, they in some way unsealed a radiator unit or maybe cut it away and didn't plug the tubing (I know a lot less about radiators and plumbing than I do about IT). They, presumably, didn't realize this and went home for their holiday weekend as well.

    After the long break was over, my boss - whose office was adjacent to the storage office - came in and observed that it was unusual for his carpeting to be so squishy. Turns out, as I'm sure you guessed, water from the compromised radiators had dripped onto the servers throughout the entire vacation, then leaked into the carpet and spread out to his office through the shared door between them.

    As soon as my team got in, we were all immediately removed from our duties for the day and tasked with helping him to move the servers over some of the forced air sections of the data center to work on blowing the water out of them. These efforts were bolstered by some of the biggest mobile fans I'd ever seen - I have no idea where we even got them.

    The servers were there for at least a week, but I think actually weeks. In the end, I think only one of the servers failed to boot and the rest stayed running for the rest of my tenure there. Still, I'm sure it was scary for a while for my boss - the one who authorized the original payment and who decided where to store the servers.

  • My six-year-old dances when they hear a song they like. They're aware of money but not concerned about it since they don't have any bills; they only care about it for occasionally buying a toy for themself. No one is paying them to dance.

    I love seeing them dance and don't hesitate at all to tell them so. There's such unbridled joy in it. Skill isn't even a concern - they're just moving the way their body wants to in response to the music and I think that's beautiful.

    One of my favorite parts of the whole thing is that sometimes they'll ask me to turn off a song so that they can stop dancing, like it's an involuntary thing.
