Pro tip: Heard a writer at a Portland cafe say they only use prompts from real life

They were telling their friend they got their best story idea from a note left on a windshield. It was a grocery list with 'forget-me-nots' written at the bottom. That tiny detail sparked a whole mystery. Made me realize the best prompts are already around us, not just from a list online. What's the most random real-life thing you've turned into a story?

Guess my grocery list is just a grocery list.
