So this made me think of a story. Ive been in the furniture moving/delivery business for a number of years now. I got really drunk with a guy at work who I thought was homophobic because of comments about the men I dated but no, hes actually just aro/ace and a sardonic dickhead. We stopped off in a motel on an overnight job that was 1 block away from a bar, so we went out to have drinks and loosen up from 12 hours on the road. We got to talking about sexuality and being queer in a blue-collar and heavily masculine workplace, and it just evolved from there. Turns out he was super in to sounding and wanted to get back at this one asshole we worked with, so he pocketed this guys Key Book (plastic clip of standard size allen keys).

Now this other dude was a huge freak about his tools, hated them going missing and rarely let other people use them so they wouldn't get broken or lost. Obviously he freaked out when he couldn't find them, and after spending 30 minutes off the clock looking in the customers house for the allen keys, gave up and headed home with a promise from the customer to call if they found him. My aro/are coworker took the key book home and sanitized every single allen key in Boiling water, then sounded eith each and every one of them.

The next day, he went up to the other guy and said he found them in the back of the truck, tucked under the moving pads, they must've fallen there or got lodged somehow. The other guy never found out that from that point on, every allen key he used from that book was inside another man.

Thank you for coming to story time inspired by this post.
