I was flying a trip out of CVG and was paired with one of the senior CA's you always heard stories about but could never believe. We were walking to our first flight together and I noticed his pant pockets jingled when he walked through the concourse. I finally had to ask him "What's with the jingling?". He went on to tell me how he tips the van drivers with 50 cent pieces. It apparently saved him "X" amount of dollars each year. He told me the van driver's always gave him an odd look, so they must think it is pretty cool getting a 50 cent piece for a tip.. I thought to myself, the look the van driver gives you is "You are such a tool".

Same CA: get to the plane and he takes off his jacket and I see he has two watches on, one on each wrist. I think to myself, this is impossible, I met this guy 20 minutes ago and he could possibly be in tool hall of fame. It gets better, as he is doing his preflight I notice his right pinkie nail is long and filed into a sharp point at the end. I look again at the watch on his left wrist and sure enough it is one of those calculator watches and he uses the sharpened pinkie nail to do his calculations.
