    My mother is a schizophrenic, and my family abandoned me when I was 16yo. Fact: these shocking things are related. I have been married 23 years, and my husband has never met my Father. What is shocking about that? Evidently I am very "down to earth". Cuz hey, I know you all have families!

    My wife is 13 years younger than me, and thus closer in age to my son (12 years difference)

    I hate mayo, mayo substitutes, and all dishes/sides/sandwiches that use mayo.

    I eat no fruit, virtually no vegetables, and aside from BBQ sauce, I don't like condiments.

    I'm divorced. A few months ago someone at work asked me about my husband. I laughed and said that I don't have one of those. She was so confused. I've been divorced over 6 years and I've worked in this area of the company for 5.

    People seem super surprised that I was once married (young and brief).

    I had a coworker who was allergic to exercise, not anaphylactic but he got bad hives. For years he thought it was the family dog causing the reaction then it turned out to be a genuine allergy to exercise (didn't stop him).

    I’ve met one other person before with exercise induced asthma but no one else with my condition. Something as simple as a 5-10min warm up can trigger anaphylaxis, so somedays it’s worth risking others it isn’t and you just play it by ear.
