Hat Compliment Misunderstanding
Share
Shaan shares a humorous story about an embarrassing interaction he had in San Diego.
"I had the funniest embarrassing interaction the other day. I went on a trip to San Diego and I was wearing this hat. I was standing waiting for my tacos at the taco shack, and this guy approaches me and says, 'Hey, I don't want to bother you, but do you mind if I take a picture?'
I responded, 'Yeah, sure man, that's cool.' I assumed he'd been listening to the podcast for a while. But then he clarifies, 'No, no, I just like your hat. My friend has a company called West, and I just wanted him to see this.'
I was caught off guard and said, 'Oh, I just assumed that you wanted... Alright, you know what, are you getting tacos? Do you want my tacos?' I had no way out of that moment."
