Outside of writing, I work with very young, sometimes disabled, children. I take them on trips to the museum sometimes. I can promise the threat of assisting/changing them in the ladies and a male walking in will ensure I never visit or donate to that museum again.

That running gag of some random dude in the background constantly getting screwed over by the main events of the story. (Bonus points if he eventually gets some actual spotlight).
