That Moment...

Swatting the old neighbor eh?
Bet they'll enjoy the flash-bangs, and when they ram down the door.

 

That moment when your best friend still can't remember your birthday.

 

TMW a failure to understand the question becomes a gradeable feature of the course.

"Professor Aschendale, I don't understand this question."

"Well, this is a quiz, you'll have to do your best."

"But I don't know what the question means. What should I answer?"

"We've spent two weeks covering this material, individually, in pairs, and in groups. I've lectured on it, given homework, and assigned essays about it. I've been available during office hours if you needed more help. I'm sorry, but I can't help you anymore now. Good luck."

"But...."


At least I know who's going to ding me as being unhelpful come the end of the semester.

 

TMW some punk kids decide to bypass the locked gate to have a party on the roof of your high rise apartment. Have fun with the police...

 

Four in custody

 

Yup. J-police work much differently from the American model. One officer went up, one stayed on the landing, the guy on the roof didn't yell or scream or shoot anyone...

They did get patted down, and then got (I'm told) their doorbells rang (literally, not a euphemism). "Hi, Mrs Tanaka (generic Japanese name, not breaking privacy), "I'm Sergeant Takeda. Is this yours? We found it on the roof..."

Hope my bicycle tires keep their air in the next few weeks.

 

To be fair, at least she has the right month. Dad still asks what day in May my mum's birthday is every time he has to fill out a form. Mum's birthday is in April.

 

To be fair, I've seen some pretty confusing test questions in my time that I completely knew the answer to once I figured out what they were asking in the first place. Sometimes the tests are just worded badly.

I don't know the question here, just saying he/she could have had a valid point.

 

That moment when having to transpose a song because you can't sing to your ukulele when you use a capo actually ends up making it a lot easier to play the song.

 

TMW... you realize you made a horrific mistake in your WIP that needs attention.

You see there is a point where my MC returns home from war, and visits with her father, and during the visit they drink wine. Which is fine. The only problem is my MC is pregnant at this moment in time, so she shouldn't be drink'n alcohol. so I may have to change it to some sort of grape drink, milk or water.

 

Clearly it should be small beer.

 

Sadly her region doesn't know of beer yet, just wine, . But there is another continent where Beer is very important.

 

Sounds kinda retro, does she know wine is bad for the baby? Or could the threat of waterborne illness be worse, so she's drinking wine that's as watered as is safe? There are a lot of things that we now know are wrong or dangerous that people were doing to themselves and their kids for millenia without causing human extinction.

 

Yeah, let her have the wine. She can look at the glass, then put it down, and say the baby's had enough.

 

Btw small beer is an old drink of the medieval and early modern period made of very weak beer that was used in the way we might drink soft drink; as a child-friendly alternative to water, and at some points was even more common due to problems with water sanitation.

 

My brother addressed me (via email) as "brother" for the first time.

It's just not something we've ever done.

Feels weird.

 

T ironic MW mentioning the issue of internet Shutupsky Squads gets shut down by - yep, you guessed it - an internet Shutupsky Squad.

 

He's probably trying to send you a secret message.

 

TMW I'm in a room full of teenagers,
