ITT: I talk about one of my strange experiences as a high school volunteer.
>Be me
> 17 year old homeschooler (do classes entirely online) who lives in Central Florida
> Because I am homeschooled, I have the ability to do activities when most people are at school
>Decide because I like history, that I was going to volunteer at my local history center
>Spend most of my time “volunteering” by siting behind the desk at the welcome center so I can greet visitors and sell merchandise
>Most people who come to the history center are only interested in the museum, so I spend most of my time reading the books we have about local history
>On one special day, I was going to have a visitor I will never forget…
>Hear the door open so I get up to greet the visitor
>He looked to be in his mid-20s, was probably 250lbs, wearing yellow sweatpants, a Figment sweater (figment is an old mascot for Epcot park) and a canvas satchel with a pony from My Little Pony ironed on.

> I gave him my standard spiel about how this place he was in was a historical society and that if he had question that he could ask me
> he says “thanks, but I am going to check out your crate labels”
> Among the items that the historical society sells are vintage crate labels that were originally used for the citruses that were once grown everywhere in Central Florida
> he walks over, takes his time observing the selection
> I try the best I can to not stare at the sight inform of me
>One of the other volunteers (a woman in her late 50s-early 60’s) comes up to him and politely talk.
>Soon he comes back with a few labels and I price them
> When I tell him the final total, he pulls a canvas wallet from his canvas bag and pays in exact change
> Respectfully says goodbye while wondering to myself what exactly I saw
>Tell the other volunteers what I saw, to which they did not believe me
>mfw I saw a real /mlp/ user
>mfw he paid in exact change
