Yesterday I went to Hot Topic at the mall and bought a necklace with the Hogwarts insignia on it. It looks awesome, and I wore it to work today.
I got mostly compliments on it, from HP fans and people who thought it was my family crest.
But then one guy came through and asked about the necklace, and I told him it was from HP. He started on his whole spiel about 'HP is evil!' and I, who think these people are total whackjobs, told him 'Sir, HP is not evil, it is a book, and secondly, they celebrate Christmas and Easter in the book, there is no devil in the book, and you are overreacting.'
He marched off and went to my manager and accused them of hiring non-Christian workers. (I am a Christian, BTW.) After he left, my manager was like, 'Man, what was his problem?'
*sigh* People.
