Random Story
My camera broke making every picture taken in bright light result in a completely white image. I started looking for a new camera when I found a guy who said he could repair mine. I took it in, he looked at it, and four hours later I picked it up in full working order. He wouldn't tell me what he did to fix it, but there was a new warranty sticker affixed to the bottom (you know the one that says 'removal of this sticker will void the warranty'). I think he just changed some setting that accidently got set as the camera got knocked about in my bag. Price: 50 dollars. That's 450 less than a new camera, so whatever he did, I'm stoked.
Also: there is a seventy year old Vietnamese man sitting next to me at this internet cafe casually browsing hard-core white girl porn. Every once in a while he'll go, "ahhh" and smile and chuckle quietly under his breath in an approving way.

I was at the berkeley library six months ago looking at old sunset books while some dude was looking at porn on a terminal across the way. After five minutes, another patron caught sight of what was going on and "outed" him. I don't think he worked there or anything... it was like a citizen's arrest.
