The guard at our Shul wishes everyone Shabbat Shalom, Shavua Tov, Chodesh Tov, etc.
He also reminds ppl which Perasha we are reading.
He listens to the aRabbi’s daily class, that is broadcasted live on itorah.com

When my obgyn (a religious catholic) told me that checking how far I'm dilated during labor shouldn't hurt more than checking myself before the mikvah.
She was wrong, but I still found it hilarious.

Love this site

A female car service driver that works in a small community, told me she can tell when someone takes their leftover shalach monos and randomly puts it together for her or if she gets a “real” one!!

My ob came to do the post baby checkup in the hospital. She told me she's sending in a script for bc now so I can get to the mikvah as soon as possible 😀

When my coworker came in with hair dyed and said "Oh, this is my Shabbos Sheitel, the other one is by the Sheitel Machor!"

I took my kids to the meadowlands fair and one ride operator, a black woman, came over to me. She said "I like to give the kids a treat after the ride, but don't worry I have kosher lollipops." I was floored. I think she gives out lollipops just so she can show off that she can identify who's going to ask for a kosher one. And here we are thinking we blend in with the crowd 😉.

When I shop in very Jewish neighborhoods and the non-Jewish workers are humming along and mumbling the hebrew/yiddish words in the music. Gets me every time.

Probably controversial, but my mother's cleaning lady happily introduces herself, "Hello it's the g*yte"

I don’t think it was all that complicated. I think he was trying to work the 18 in there but basically wanted to give 100

My gardener tells me every summer he knows when the summer holiday where we don’t do the lawns for about a week is coming up. So he tells me he tries to come with enough time that the grass doesn’t look too bad.
He does lots of houses in the development so he knows everything lol

The HR woman at one of my DH’s jobs would hand out a bag of apples and honey before Rosh Hashana to all the frum employees and she would print out the Yehi Ratzon but it would be printed backwards , like the alphabet .
