I've just recently moved to Germany and got the first Threadless order shipped to my new address. I didn't know that you have to sign and pay the postman a German Import Tax on goods ordered from overseas - which sucks, but anyway -
On the day that my order came, I was out. When I returned home, I found my delivery on my front step already signed for, and someone had paid the €6.60 Import Tax for me. I called around to the neighbours, but they knew nothing about it.
The next day I got a note in mailbox that said: I hope you enjoy the new tees.
I still have no idea who it was, but thanks, Mystery German Threadless Fan.

I went to a poker tournament last night where no one really knew each other, and there were 7 people there wearing threadless. There was recognition and understanding in the eyes of the threadless wearers as we met across the poker table. It was unspoken, but we instantly bonded. In a situation that was somewhat socially awkward, threadless proved to be an ice breaker and the initiator of some great friendships.
That's awesome :)

Is there a consensus on how to score t-shirt designs?
At the moment I'm going by:

5- I want to buy it right now
4- Nice, I'll probably buy it
3- I like it, but you could change [insert element I don't like]
2- Nice design, but i wouldn't buy it
1- Not cool, needs work
0- wtf, why did you even bother?

I mostly score 3s, 2s, & 1s. Am i being too harsh?

It is getting harder and harder to purchase unique shirts. I thought threadless would be there for me in my times of need. But too many people in Australia now know about threadless. I see their awesome shirts all the time on campus now. My friends and I have to keep track of who is buying what shirt so we don't buy the same. You have to get in quick, coz we invariably want to buy the same ones.
