In college, I was working at my computer in my dorm room and it was kind of chilly so I had my hood up on my grey hoodie. A floormate came to my door and I looked over from under my hood in an apparently suspicious way, so she started calling me "Unabomber," which quickly shifted to "Bomber." So I had a cool nickname for the first time in my life . . . and then about 2 weeks later, 9/11 happened and my cool nickname was dead.
Story time!
