The last place you thought you might meet another metal fan

[Catastrophic]

What is the weirdest place you thought might meet another metal fan?? I would like to hear stories like that.

There's one time I was buying some stuff in a local grocery store. I never wore any metal band t-shirts to this place. So there was one time I was wearing my friend's Impiety t-shirt. There's this cashier girl who has been working there for probably around 6 months looked at my shirt and asked "is that Impiety?" Both of us then spoke about metal for around 5 minutes. The line was getting long so I had to go. I rarely talk to her now though since I don't really know her and I only meet her when I buy stuff at that store.

Tell me yours.

I met an Emperor fan the other day in Roman History class, but that's probably the most likely class for an Emperor fan to take at the university.

I met a guy wearing an Emperor shirt while getting something at Wal Mart about a month back. I noticed his shirt and he noticed my Graveland shirt, and we started talking about black metal for a good 15 minutes. We exchanged AIM screen names afterwards and still speak on a somewhat frequent basis.

That's the only time something like that has happened with me.

I saw some dude with hair to his waist and a Darkthrone shirt (Transilvanian Hunger) while standing in line at the store; he was pretty far away, so I didn't talk to him (I actually didn't really care, but if it happened then that would have been cool too I suppose).

I wanted to yell at him that Soulside Journey is a better album, but I fear his grimness may have been too much for me to handle.

Any social gathering.

In a local diner. Some guy was admiring my patchjacket.

I had my Pink Floyd shirt on at the doctors office one day and this older dude that was sitting next to me commented about it. So we bsed about older bands from the 60's and 70's and I mentioned Black Sabbath and how they are one of my favorite metal bands. He nearly freaked out, he was like "You like metal!?!?" I was like, "Nah I'm a poser." He didn't say anything for a second and I said, "I'm just fuckin with you, yeah metal is good stuff." So we chatted about Priest and Sabbath for a while then I was called in for my appointment.

The only time I've ever encountered another real metal head was about a month ago. It was this guy I've worked with for years, but was never aware he knew anything of metal. Whenever I've heard him discussing music with other people it's always been about old school punk and hardcore. Then out of nowhere one day he asked me what I listen to. I responded all kinds of black and death metal. He responded: like what- Emperor, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Borknagar, and Immortal? I was incredibly shocked when we actually proceeded to have a conversation about Varg, Norway, and the Black Circle.

Well, It's not really where I met them, but just how...
There was this guy in my astronomy class who always wore preppy clothes and was kinda weird and hyper. He was decently nice, we talked a little, but never about music, just making fun of the teacher and stuff like that. I wear band shirts, listen to my cd player as loud as it goes to where people say things to me and everything, and still it never came up.

So in December I go to see Vader, Malevolent Creation, Cattle Decapitation, and Abigail Williams. I head to the pit, and who would be the first guy I ran into, but preppy looking kid in a Cattle Decapitation shirt bearing the same picture that's on my avatar.

Kinda weird, but interesting, none the less.

I met one of my good friends by just noticing the shirt he was wearing (Windir) when I was a high school freshman. He was a sophomore. I still talk to him a lot and he's the one driving Nick and I down to Maryland in May...good times.
