My son said, "You do realize you have to touch people, and they might be sweaty and icky."
Actually it was the realization that I would be really, really old by the time I paid off my student loans that convinced me it might be a bad idea. I'm pretty old already.

Putting a picture of the tenth Doctor on one side of a wall and Grant Wilson and Jason Hawes on the other in my signature block at work. My supervisor didn't get it.

Handing my dog's leash to my son while said son was wearing rollerblades. Lucky there were no squirrels or cats in the vicinity; I might never have caught up with them.

That's all I can think of right offhand.
