Yoongi:
This is actually a heartwarming story that despite being more than 15 years ago still makes me really happy. So mid-2000s. I worked at a pediatric hospital. Anyone who is in-patient on Christmas day is SICK. There are no scheduled surgeries, everyone who can be safely discharged for a day generally is. It is rough for families who observe. This is when American Idol was THE thing. And a contestant from our city had done well the prior season — hadn’t won, but kind of ‘hometown hero.’ I didn’t watch the show so wasn’t super familiar, but I’d heard about him. We heard he was visiting with his family. Figured that they’d stop in a couple rooms, get some photos/PR, and go on home. Readers, I kid you not, this man, his brother, and their parents visited every single child in the hospital. They were there for hours and hours. They put on gowns, masks, and gloves and took them off again. They held babies. They sang carols with families and staff. The singer guy was, uhh, surprisingly handsome in person. He made the adults and teenagers blush with his charm – including me. I’ve never seen anything like it, before or since. It must have been so exhausting for him and his family — both physically hard, rough on their voices (so much singing!), and emotionally fraught — so much heartache and sadness. But the joy they brought to everyone, including this pessimistic Jewish woman who always works on Christmas cause it isn’t my holiday … well, it was certainly my most memorable Christmas. (2022)

Namjoon:
Our safety initiative committee gave us beautiful logo’d mugs, lovely huge ones – that had a shiny gold enamel on the outside. They were neither dishwasher nor microwave safe. About an hour later, they came and took them all back after someone microwaved one and caused major, massive sparking, panicking half a lunch room.

Hoseok:
Years ago the floor manager banned crockpots from the work floor where teams would use an empty cubicle for team birthdays and celebrations due to ongoing issues. Fast forward a few months; a team brings in a crockpot for an event. An outraged employee approached me yelling that it wasn’t fair the other team could have crockpots and hers couldn’t. She looked me in the eye and completely seriously told me, ‘This is crockpot discrimination!” (2022)

Jimin and Jungkook:
My dad was a firefighter. They throw wild parties. Not officially Fire Department parties, they just happen to have a raging house party that could rival any fraternity, and invite everyone from work. The story I was told is that at one of these parties, Fireman Bob — who was in a prank war with Fireman Steve — snuck off to Steve’s bedroom and took “boudoir” photos on his bed. He yanked his tighty-whities up between his cheeks and took about a dozen Polaroid photos, leaving them fanned out on Steve’s dresser. Steve said nothing the next shift. Steve never did say anything. He didn’t have to. The next year, Steve gave everyone in the department a photo calendar, featuring Bob’s fancy pictures. (2024)

Taehyung:
During a potluck, someone (the office never discovered who!) went to the meeting room where the potluck had to be held and took a single bite out of every biteable thing. Scones, bread, fruits, pizza slices. Just one single bite. (2024)

Seokjin:
I was invited to my boss’s house for an employee holiday party. This small business was owned by a married couple who were also landlords, so they were pretty wealthy and had a huge house. I was walking around admiring their art when I came across a statue. A nude statue. A nude statue of my boss. (2021)

Do you ever think about how Hoseok’s Insta profile picture is still this even though he’s a very curated social media user and promoting a new clothing collab with many cute pictures, which means he knows he looks like walking sex and wants everyone who finds his profile to know he’s down?
Hoseok Killin It Girl Promo picture, black and white. He’s wearing a stretchy sweater, pulled to the side by his hand to bare a collarbone and a lot of bracelets. He looks like he will dom you.

I don’t even know what to do about this guy anymore. He’s too powerful so he’s saying all the inside thoughts out loud now!

There are times at which I simply cannot stand him, is this what biasing is

I didn’t fall into the true rabbit hole until Mic Drop but this was the first time I remember seeing them! Without explanation, post an image of gif of the first time you saw BTS

Reminded me to post my favorite tweet of all time (I’m not sure if this is the original poster or not, I’m sorry if it isn’t, it’s just the one I have a screenshot of!)

Hold on did we have an agreement now that everyone is stripping down all the time that sleeveless shirts and tank tops are just… okay to wear without warning? Was there a notice? I didn’t get a notice??????

This is a crime against probably a lot of people but definitely against me, specifically

This sweet dimpled smile and clear-eyed gaze is not going to fool me, Jung Hoseok. We know what’s going on under there now, and you cannot walk it back!

You know how at the start of the Kentucky Derby they do the little bugle thing so the racers get ready? This is like that except for the maknae line scheduling their own competitive shirtless photo shoots for when their hair is long enough
