Nothing to worry about. They will just think you’re Canadian. ;-) But seriously, there is NOTHING to worry about. More likely than not, you will have made someone’s day more interesting and maybe have given them something slightly interesting to talk about when they get home - if they even remember it. In today’s internet age, where we’re overwhelmed with new information, people have a memory span of a few minutes for most things. This is really important to appreciate. Because what we do or say is nowhere near as important as we THINK it is. Here’s a good example. I used to do network support for a large global company. One morning, our entire Asia-Pacific network was down, and stayed down for an entire day because someone in North America made a simple DNS mistake. Two-thousand employees couldn’t login to their computers for an entire day! I thought it was a HUGE mistake, but my colleague was like, “No one will remember this next week.” He was completely right! Nobody mentioned anything or even complained. Life just went on. So don’t worry too much about what other people think because, more likely than not, they’re not thinking about you at all. Everyone is too busy these days to retain much of anything. When I chased my wife halfway across Japan, I boarded the same flight as her. I looked pretty scary in my disguise and wasn’t sure how the flight staff would react, but I needed their help to pull off my plan. I explained that I am secretly following my wife in disguise and that I wanted to present her with a bottle of wine during the flight. To my surprise, the staff agreed to play along, and they delivered the wine and a fake business card to my wife. A bunch of other stuff happened which is too long to describe, but when I was getting off the plane, the stewardess handed me a handwritten thank you note from the flight staff, thanking me for making their flight so memorable. In short, don’t be afraid to live a little. The results may surprise you. Life is short. Enjoy it.
