I went to a gas station in Fort Wayne yesterday. My normal pattern is to fill up the tank until the pump trips that the tank is full.
I saw that the pump stopped at $16.66. Since I notice interesting numbers, I saw the 666 in the middle of it, which is a number mentioned in the book of Revelations in the Bible.
It took me a second to decide whether I should leave it there. (with the fantasy that the next person would see it and get uncomfortable.) That’s crazy in couple of ways. The most obvious is that the next person probably wouldn’t even notice.
However, I didn’t want to upset anyone, so I dispensed a little more gas to change the number.
I put a tweet up asking whether you would be uncomfortable to see $6.66 and whether you would enjoy not changing it.
I think I could find more useful things to occupy my time.
