No Social Security numbers start with 666. I think a great conspiracy would be that they are issued and given to a select few who have promised eternal loyalty to Satan. (They’re also given a fake number to trick the less unholy.)
I used to buy buy two bottles of 99 cent water and a candy bar and with tax the total came to $3.34 which , of course, left me $6.66 in change if I used a 10 dollar bill to buy it… The guy in the store would always ask if I wanted something else so that I didn’t have to get that amount back.
I just shook my head and took the change.
Some years before he died Fred Phelps had a syndicated radio sermon program.
One of the things he said that marked Topeka, Kansas, (his home), as evil was that all the zip codes start with 666.
The ham I made for Easter cost $6.66. I picked that one out on purpose. Score one for Satan!
When you find somebody embracing a religious superstition like this, double down on them. Tell them things like 666 or the devil have no power over you because you’re protected by your faith. Suggest to them that they should accept Jesus into their life and then they wouldn’t need to be afraid anymore.
This will confuse these people. They think of themselves as hyper-Christians and they don’t know how to react when somebody suggests they aren’t Christian enough.
I was once playing poker in Atlantic City, 7 card stud. Just me and another left in the hand. He had 2 6s showing. I could still beat him. He tripped the 6 which pretty much sunk my hand. He folded and I won. He said he couldn’t take money for 3 6s. I was happy to take his. I guess he thought Jeezus hated that number but had no problem with the drinking and gambling.
I’m surprised cashiers would stumble over that. If I was in that situation, I’d prefer to say “Six dollars and sixty-six cents” not because I’m superstitious about it, but because I wouldn’t want the customer to freak.
Similar joke here. For a while in college, I lived at 667 [street name]. There was nothing but a city parking lot across the street, which also lead to some jokes about an invisible satanic temple on city property. 
Okay, now who’s discriminating against the Sanguinarian-Americans? Why do you hate the poor innocent vampires? It’s not their fault they have to subsist on a high protien liquid diet…
Huh, I didn’t realize that vampires had such good powers of perception that they could be affected by an imaginary air cross! My bad!
(Actually IRL I’m Lutheran so I wouldn’t be signing any crosses, I’d just shrug and go back to digging a hole.)
Ours is an effing strange species. I remember a report I saw a few years ago from someplace in Texas where a municipality decided that it wasn’t going to allow its employees to answer the phone with the traditional “Hello” and would require them to, instead, answer with “Heaven-o.” Here’s a link: Texas town says goodbye to ‘hello’ – The Minnesota Daily
Well, technically Satan is an angel, so…
Sigh. This topic makes my head hurt.
There are intelligent posters on this board who won’t write the name “God.”
Not anymore.
Which begs the question – do worshipers of Satan fear the number 777?
Do away with the penny.
“That will be six sixty uh, five.”
Interesting that every where you’ve gone has had the exact same sales tax rate. Where I live every, county and jurisdiction’s tax rate is slightly different. It would be difficult to go to McDonalds’ across the state, much less multiple states, order the exact same thing and have it ring up the same amount every time.
I don’t know where the OP lives, but in Canada sales tax is a product of federal and provincial taxes, so each province will have the same uniform tax rate regardless where you stop. The taxes on an Egg McMuffin will be 13% in Windsor, and 13% in Thunder Bay. Now, the restaurant may not charge the same amount, but the taxes are the same.
I was once playing three card poker at a casino, and hit trips…sixes. An older woman sitting next to me said something Jesusy and left the table.
leftfield6(66), would you do this next time you run across something like this? I’d love to hear the reaction.
Not as interesting as you would think. The 3 times it’s been in the fast food drive-thru were all in GA. Same franchise, items, same tax, etc. Different locations though.
The other instances were more scattered. A couple of months ago, it happened at a news stand in the Orlando airport, and then just yesterday at SmashBurger in Dallas TX.
