Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

A. I got to drive a train when I was 9 (a family friend charted a Chicago Elevated train for his graduation party and as the youngest person on the train one of the operators said "hey you wanna drive the train" and so I got to drive the train for a bit

B. I went back to college a few years ago and managed to complete a 2 year degree with a 3.71 GPA while attending college full time, working 20+ hours per week at times as the sole breadwinner while my wife was pregnant with our second child and I had to commute about an hour each way to school and work. I literally started my second semester the day after we returned home from the hospital after his birth. Unlike driving a train I don't intend to recreate that experience ever again...

That I run three home servers with over 25 services for work, home security, and website projects. No one cares about it but I really enjoy doing it :)

I'm trying to think of something I can actually do, but all I can think about are weird coincidences beyond my control:

My parents and my husband's parents were married on the same day in different parts of the country. His dad also shares my birthday.

My first child was born on the same day as a moderately famous comedian's first child. Later, when I looked that comedian up, I realised my second child was born on his 50th birthday.

I can guess the right socket/wrench I need from looking at the bolt 90% of the time
