I will share mine, although I didn’t do it alone, In my college they prohibited couples from going to do the internships together… Me and my gf were… Busy certain days and we didn’t assist those days so we got expelled from the company…

Not something that I’m glad to share, but still no complaints.

The main bicycle route from close to my house to a dedicated bike trail has more than 2 dozen signs between those mounted on posts and those painted in the lanes. It used to have a lot of stupid aggressive people in cars, driving back roads like it was their own personal racetrack. The city added the obnoxious level of signage to help because a lot of riders just stayed on the local highway. I didn’t ride the highway unless I had a reason. I had to go to the bank to deposit a check 2/26/14 and was riding down the hill to get to the trail when an idiot made a uturn into another car and very nearly killed me and left me partially disabled, unable to hold posture for very long. They added the signage around a year after my crash. There used to be 3 barely visible signs on that stretch.

We were not allowed to play kickball at daycare because I accidentally broke the teacher’s face. We only had a soccer ball to play with & I kicked it right back at her head.

Then we got a rubber ball a month or so later & kickball was back on. For all of 20 minutes…

I kicked the ball over the fence & hit a moving car, almost causing an accident.

No more kickball again.

I got too comfortable at work and would walk around barefoot. The place was really clean. One morning a manager noticed and got weirded out. Next day there was a company wide announcement that shoes were required at all times.

It is now state personnel policy that, for the purposes of visibility, hair can be counted as visibility headwear so long as it is the correct color of bright orange.

I dyed my hair traffic cone orange one summer and asked if I still had to wear my hat. My boss was amused and asked his boss. His boss was also amused and asked his boss. On and on and on until a memo was issued signed by the director of the entire agency saying that no, anyone with traffic cone orange hair did not have to wear a hat.

Would it be possible to see what such hair would look like?

I honestly don’t know if I have any pictures from back then. I should, but I dunno where they would be.

At the time I was also fond of wearing brightly colored collared shirts too, so between my hair and my clothes I probably was safe to go hunting in terms of visibility.
