It’s maybe not the best piece of advice ever but it’s one that stuck with me since I was a kid, mostly because of it’s ridiculousness. I had completely forgotten about this until I mentioned it to Just Rojie the other day.
I don’t remember where we were when he first said it, but we must’ve been picking chairs to sit somewhere at a table, possibly a restaurant, and he insisted on a particular chair because “the sheriff never sits with his back to the door“.
It took me a second to process what he meant. He had to sit so that he faced the exit. Interesting. And I laughed.
Dad, you’re not a Sheriff so chill. But he meant it, even if in a goofy way.
Now guess who never sits (if I can possibly help it), with my back to the door. Yep, me, the sheriff. (I’m not actually a sheriff).
