I made a pony friend today!

[Shiromisa]

I went to Toys R Us today to hit up a sale (buy one, get one 40% off, not too shabby!). I found a totally untouched box of wave 5 blind bags, grabbed the ponies I didn't already have, then noticed the empty box of wave 3 (which I barely have any of), and asked an employee if there were any more.

He scanned it to check, then asked if I was a brony. I responded, "Haha, I have a complicated relationship with that word, but I am a big pony fan." He told me one of his coworkers was one too, and she might know better than the computer if they had any more blind bags. So he called her over.

We ended up talking for a while about pony stuff, it was neat! I love meeting other fans in the wild, rather than the internet.

Haha in the wild.
I was working once and a girl came in with a fluttershy pin on her bag. it was the only hint that she was maybe a brony so when she was buying her stuff i said i liked her pin and she was like "OMG THANKYOU! ARE YOU A BRONY?!" and i said yes and then we brohoofed. it was magical.

That is so cool! It's so nice to find a pony friend IRL! 

I went to my local Kroger one day and on the whiteboard someone had drawn an MLP on the advertisement (like, a worker there, it was really well done) - I was too shy to ask someone if they knew who had drawn it.. but if they ever do that again, I definitely have to work up the nerve to be like - okay, show me who drew that - maybe there are more collectors close to us in person than we realize?

What a lucky meeting! I once saw a young man in our shop wearing a MLP T-shirt but I was too shy to approach him.

I've actually talked to a few people about ponies! I generally wear my blind bag necklace when I'm not at work, and several people have commented on it and hoofbumped me, haha.

That is one of the good things about FIM... You meet lots of pony people!

I remember back when hearing someone was a My Little Pony collector was like hearing someone had the same type of rare disease that you have.. now it's almost commonplace..

I love running into other pony fans.  There's a couple who work at my local Target and have outed me.
