***Official real life Seinfeld moments thread***

I was checking out of a Speedway gas station on Sunday and the clerk, who was very attractive to me, had a Halloween costume on with a deck of cards theme. She had a card painted on her face. If I was younger and unattached I would want to ask her out. Anyways, I complimented her on her costume and I asked if she dressed up as something else on the other days she worked. She said Yes and said she was a face painter and of course it made me think of Puddy and the New Jersey Devils episode. I can’t date a face painter
I saw this playing out while walking to an ISU football years ago. I didn't bother sticking around to see how it finished.
I was living in Southern California playing Trivial Pursuit. They couldn't believe when this question came to me. "What is the mascot of Iowa State University?" As I was reaching for my pie, I calmly answered "Cy the Cardinal." "WRONG - it's Cyclones!" I try to explain that Cy is the mascot and Cyclones is the nickname. Much like moors vs. moops.
Real life Seinfeld moment. He's a complete jerk. He hired a private air service to fly him around for a week acted like he was good friends with the pilot who flew him everywhere for the whole week including dinner and other activities. When the week was over the pilot asked for a picture and Seinfeld had him fired!
A neighbor installed a motion light a la Kenny Rodger's Chicken, though white instead of red. Looked like 1 million lumens. Directly into our bedroom, I had to tape the curtains to the wall.
Office is getting a remodel and today a painter was painting by my co workers desk. She sent me an IM and said “this painter is a loud-breather”
I've never seen that before. I'm not quite sure what to think of that

Jerry is totally a snob and a jerk. I don't think he was putting on much of a persona in his show. I don't think that necessarily makes him less funny, because if you look at the way he tells jokes, that's absolutely what he's going for. He's the smartest, funniest guy in the room, pointing out the ridiculous mundane things that the rest of the peons never pick up on. It's absolutely the personality that he's cultivated.
That doesn't affect my enjoyment of him, but I doubt he's a lot of fun to hang out with.
Wasn't King's big schtick was that he didn't do interview prep? I never really understood the appeal of King personally. Yes, he would get great guests, but I always felt the interviews could have been a lot better if he actually knew what he was talking about when he asked questions.
I don't blame Jerry there. It was a really stupid question to ask. I think Jerry was the only one who was ready for the show to end. If I remember right, NBC was opening the bank to try and get him to stay on the air.
I'm waiting for Tom Manning to pull a Constanta and do everything opposite what he normally does.
It was an odd question to ask. Hard to believe King wouldn't know. I was thinking maybe it's just a rhetorical Q, but answer is so obvious. I suppose Seinfeld could've gone with the flow and just said, "That's correct," but he probably found it so far from reality he couldn't let it go.
I feel like this scenario plays out during tailgating or at the softball park after a few beers and the closet restroom is a bit of a walk but there is a row of trees nearby. If you resort to doing this you can bet your head is on a swivel to make sure a cop is not nearby.
I have confirmed real life cops don't buy the uromycitysis argument either.
Had this discussion with 1 of my kids last night actually about not double-dipping their food into something we are sharing at the table (was marinara sauce last night.)
In some cases you could be charged with an offense that requires you to register as a sex offender so I won't make the same mistake Jerry made which was not keeping an eye on your surroundings while you relieve yourself. My eyes are checking all around before and during to make sure no one sneaks up on me.
