Always a great time when you run into someone in your apartment building, and they're walking in dressed in a suit, and you're taking your trash out, dressed in a lime green thrifted t-shirt and pumpkin pajamas that say "Life is Gourd"..

Rename D&D based on your first experience with the game. For me it's Horses & Bandits or Tunnels & Slugs First time I played D&D was a pitched combat against horse thieves. The second time was more exploration based and we crawled down a tunnel and fought a slug. What's yours?
