Against societal norms

While running a few errands with Rin, I decided to take my glass, filled with ice & some red pomegranate drink with me (a la The Dude but without the white russian).

We went to the bank and the received a few comments. The teller chuckled that I got some of my red drink on the check I handed to him, after doing a double-take of the glass I placed on the counter. Then, some guy on line behind us chimed in with, "Is that a glass?" to which I casually replied, "Yep." He stared a little more so I concluded my comment with, "I'm starting a new trend."

Moving on, we went to Friendly's. After placing our ice cream order, I put the glass on the counter. The girl at the counter did a double take and smirked. Before she could say anything, I said, "Yeah, I know..."

The point is how people react to otherwise trivial things that are atypical. I'll have to think of something else for next time.
