Not my story but from a guy I met playing a mmo.

He told me he was in community college and there was some kid who always brought a fly swatter to a class they both had. The cheap ones with a colorful plastic end.

Like every single class. He took it out of his backpack and hold it in one of his hands. The whole class period.

There was some other part to the story but Ive forgotten it.

But twas community college. Guy wasn't some young kid but a boy on the cusp of manhood.

I do believe the course was on criminal forensics. Or something related to that topic.

Which kinda made it more bizarre.
