A guy I used to know was a Chesapeake Bay Pilot. These pilots are the only people allowed to drive the big ships into the Chesapeake bay (barring military ships). He was guiding a ship into port and ran over a sailboat. It was not so much his fault, he can not move from the channel, and those ships can’t be stopped in a short distance.
Anyway, he was taking a vacation in Seattle later that year. He was at a bar and a guy asks, “Aren’t you that guy who ran over that sailboat?”
I live in a coastal zone, so this doesn’t happen to our weather man but my brother lives in the middle of Texas. He saw the local TV weatherman at a bar and struck up a conversation. “I just want to ask you one question.” “I know”, the weatherman said, “Why do I always stand in front of your town on the map when I’m giving the forecast?”
I went to high school with a girl whose father was a substitute weather man. TV was black and white and they had to wear suits. IRL he was a meteorologist.
This reminds me of the time Queen Elizabeth wear a green dress for one of her television appearances and everyone photo shopped all kinds of bizarre stuff on her.

My father was a television news reporter and once made the mistake of wearing a blue shirt on set. The results were similar.

You must be from Rochester, NY because nobody else would go to a bar that serves Genesee beer!
