Me: *passing by the Easter display*
Woman: Excuse me, when is Easter?
Me: I don't know.
Woman: What do you mean, how can you not know?
Me: I'm Jewish.
Woman: And?
Me: And so I don't care about Easter?
Woman: *huffs and walks away*
ETA: Given what I was wearing today, I wonder if she thought I worked there. Hmmm.

After one year of that I had to relax my passover standards. I went back to strict observance for a year and then was pregnant and or nursing for 4 years during passover and got very sick when I tried. So I got out of the habit. No bread or risen products here, but that's about it.
