I am at work. For the anecdote I'm about to share I should point out that at the moment I am playing Coldplay on my iPod over the store's soundsystem.

I hate Coldplay. I think they are the world's most overrated band and that is including the Beatles on this list. I know that statement makes me unpopular amongst music aficionados as much as my rabid dislike of Rent makes me unpopular amongst all of homosexuality.

But I digress.

So I'm at work, playing the band I hate because on my iPod filled with nearly 5,000 songs I'm quickly coming to the end of albums that're appropriate for work and I think a customer might complain if I play L'arc~en~Ciel again.

A customer comes in, asks for an iced tea to go. As I'm making it he remarks, "Do you even like Coldplay?"

Hesitation. Then, "Um no, not really."

"Glad I'm not the only one." Takes the iced tea. Leaves me a 2.00 tip.

Hooray for standing up for your right to dislike music that sucks.
