That would be a lot

Last week at work two different people walked by me at lunch and said “your sandwiches always look amazing” and I literally can’t shut up about that now.
Don't skip sandwich day.

I bought a new hat about 5 years ago. In the first year, I had a young woman tell me she liked my hat (random passerby in a supermarket), but she giggled as she said it. I spent the next long while wondering if she was being genuine and she was just nervous about saying something, or if she was making fun of me and had said it ironically. (She was with someone else, so that seemed to make the latter more likely).
A few months ago, an elderly woman at the pharmacy told me she liked my hat, and that one I knew was genuine.
I haven't left the house without that hat since. Still riding that high, too.
In 2011, I worked at a company that was near a small local sandwich shop, and I'd go in there frequently for lunch. At one point, when I got back to the office, I found that they clerks had written in sharpie on the bag something to the effect of, "You're always so bright and cheery when you come in here, we love your attitude!" Made my year. I still have that bag in a box in the closet.
There was a lady who came in my store regularly. You could tell she put a lot of work into herself. I mean, it had to take her hours to get ready every morning.
She always seemed so sad. Not rude or anything, just depressed or something.
It took me more than a month to work up the courage to say it, but one day I got the guts and I said, “Hey, I’ve been wanting to say this to you but I know how men can be and I’ve stopped myself a hundred times. I’m not hitting on you, I’m married. I just have to tell you that you are one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen in my life and I just love the way you dress and do your makeup. You’re always a pleasant sight.”
I never seen that woman with a sad look on her face again.
Had another customer, very old lady. Very hateful. Always in a rush but doing everything so slow. One of the meanest looking people I’ve ever known. I didn’t see her smile for years. She was probably about 85 years old.
One day I said to her, “You know, you’re one of my absolute favorite customers. I’m always happy to see you coming.”
She looked up at me with that mean face and flashed a short smile. I had never seen her smile before that. She didn’t say anything, just smiled.
Every time she came in after that she’d be her usual mean looking self, but she’d always smile at me and then go right back to grumbling.

Tell me everything about your amazing sandwiches
On Sara Lee Artisano bread, in this order:
Yellow mustard
Two slices of oven roasted turkey breast
One slice of cheese (baby Swiss or Gouda)
Another slice of turkey
Another slice of cheese
Green or red leaf lettuce
A thick slice of beefsteak tomato
Onion
MayoI pack the lettuce tomato and onion in a separate zip top bag and add them to the sandwich right before eating it. Makes all the difference.
I randomly made this the first time I actually took my lunch to work and at the first bite was like “FUCK that’s a good sandwich” and I’ve taken the exact same thing every day for weeks now.

I briefly tried making YouTube videos (didn’t really stop for any reason other than my usual inability to stick with anything) and when I got a handful of views and comments my reaction was “wait who the fuck is watching this?”

Every Monday night I do a radio show. Most weeks I get about 15 people listening, and have had to work really hard to stay at a place where I'm happy that it's as many as that.
Time is fleeting, we don't get back what we've used, so it blows my mind that 15 people choose to spend two hours of their week listening to my bullshit. Sure, I'd like it to be more, but I'll take what I can get.

I don't have to imagine. I'm sure almost 15 people have complimented my appearance over the course of my entire life.

It's the cheese, man.
Incredible how much switching from kraft American ups your sandwich game.
I'm partial to havarti myself.

Every week you have 15 people sitting in a circle hanging on your every word for two whole hours. And they keep coming back. That’s a lot of good friends, man! If they were there in person we’d all wonder if you were a cult leader.

I'm reminded of a scene near the end of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where the protagonist becomes like this venerated sandwich artisan on a tiny out-of-the-way planet.
Agreed that most sandwiches are better fresh. Any kind of dampness or shudder sogginess, totally knocks off 10 points.
My sandwiches are made with this fried tofu mix of my own design lol, so might not appeal to others but I still appreciate the art generally.
While we're sharing, my secret technique is toasting the inside of the sandwich breads, so you get soft bite going in then a little crunch on the inside.

Two people told me the salad I was making at the grocery store salad bar looked good. I was like damn. I’m really good at making salads.

I once had 1500 upvotes on Reddit for something, don't even remember what. I'm a celebrity now.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I remember my most uovoted comments were always the pithy little sentences that didn't add much, but captured the zeitgeist. Meanwhile I'd write an essay with a proper thesis and everything in a niche community and get like one downvote for my trouble.
One of the reasons I turn off vote displays here. I don't consider it real engagement. Yeah we all do it to be polite, but it doesn't mean anything. A hundred upvotes is like a hundred people replying "ok" or "ya" — not even.
Anyway that's my hobby horse, thanks for reading.

This made me realize that I never really knew how many listeners my radio show had, and that I never really cared.

Is that counting relatives?

It isn't a cult, I just really like robes.

Yeah....

What kind of hat was it?
A pork pie!

It's always these quippy one-liners that add nothing of value to the conversation. One of the aspects that made commenting on popular posts so unrewarding and boring because the entire comment section would be full of people parroting this senseless nonsense. Actively a part of what made me comment and post barely on reddit. Whereas on here, I'm commenting a lot more than I used to simply because the discussions surrounding the comments actually exist and is appreciated.

Plug your shit man. I'll be number 16 at least once.
