Some Girl Somewhere Thinks She Has Bon Jovi's Underwear

In the late ’80s, I worked at King’s Furniture. It wasn't your average shop; they sold incredibly high-end pieces—think $80,000 bedroom sets and $50,000 patio sets made of imported Italian marble. Because of the price tags, the clientele was often famous; we had everyone from Bruce Springsteen and Joe Pesci to Jon Bon Jovi shopping there.

I worked in the warehouse, prepping for delivery. One of our drivers was a biker named Spider Mike. He looked every bit the part of a big leather jacket biker.

Mike got the delivery to Bon Jovi. At the time, Bon Jovi was at the absolute peak of his career—there were girls camped out in front of his gates every single day just for a glimpse of him. When Mike finally got back to the warehouse, we all asked how it went and if he was there.

He told us they were met by a personal assistant who was, frankly, an asshole. The house was filled with pristine white carpet, and the assistant watched the delivery crew like a hawk. They were forced to lay down moving blankets, take off their shoes, and finish the job in their socks. To top it off, after all that extra work, the guy signed the paperwork and didn't offer a single cent as a tip.

Annoyed and looking for a little payback, Mike asked to use the restroom before leaving. While inside, he took off his own underwear. Leaving they stopped to talk to the girls outside. He sold the underwear to one of them claiming he’d swiped them straight from Bon Jovi’s hamper.

I ran into Mike years later and asked if that story was actually true. He got a distant, nostalgic look in his eye and said, “I just like to think that somewhere, there’s a girl with my underwear under her pillow, convinced it belongs to Bon Jovi”.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

The time I quit my job mid shift and walked out

Eight years ago I was working a customer service job that already had me burned out but one day my boss screamed at me in front of customers over something that wasn’t even my fault. Something in me just snapped. I took off my apron handed it to him and said “I’m done” Then I walked straight out the door and never looked back. Didn’t even go back for my final paycheck. It sounds impulsive but it was one of the most freeing empowering things I’ve ever done. Up until that moment I thought I had to just take it and that quitting mid shift was “unprofessional” But honestly that day taught me there’s a line between being dedicated and being disrespected. I was playing apex earlier and thought about how that single decision changed my whole mindset about self worth. It’s wild how one moment of courage can stick with you for nearly a decade. Still one of the best choices I’ve ever made.
