well, this is fun and not-so-fun at the same time...
Our team has bright orange aprons as part of our competition attire. One time, without really thinking about it, I wear my apron when I go to Home Depot on a hardware run (in case you don't know, they, too, wear bright orange aprons). Well, more than once I got asked where (such and such) is, or where the bathrooms were, etc. I politely had to explain I didn't work there; and we both got a good chuckle out of it.
UNFORTUNATELY... at the Pacific Northwest Regional this year we sent a few of our girls out to get some supplies, they were wearing their aprons, and apparently the people at Home Depot got REALLY angry at them and tried to take their aprons away!
OY!
Oddly enough... we're planning to ask our local HD Store for sponsorship next year
