Monthsquote:This troper emits low-grade sarcasm the way some people breathe. Odd euphemisms (like comparing my sarcasm to pandas not having sex, or in layman's terms perfectly natural) are par for the course. I'm known to spend months at a time looking in the mirror and saying, "I should really shave." And, of course, I've occasionally dabbled in acting. As for other Bunny Ears Lawyers around me, well, I'm an animation student at an art school in the Pacific Northwest. It's only natural that all my peers and teachers should be a little weird. Military quote:This troper's entire military unit is composed of essentially Bunny Ears Airmen. Uniform standards are ignored, as are plenty of regulations regarding conduct. Airmen have been known to bring their pets into secure areas, enlisted men, NCOs and officers treat each other as equals, and this troper recently witnessed a sergeant playing handball in a room full of rather expensive communications equipment. The officers tolerate their tomfoolery because, frankly, they're the best at what they do. Mundane quote:This troper is a Bunny Ears Office Administrator. She keeps toys on her desk, has a handmade wooden candy dispenser on the windowsill, and stores important CD-ROMs inside a storage unit designed to look like a set of books. Her work attire invariably consists of dress slacks and a nice shirt, plus cotton socks and running shoes. She periodically wears an eyepatch while working (actually for medical reasons, but most people don't know that) and once teamed up with her boss's wife to wrap every. single. item. in his office in newspaper for April Fool's Day. There must be a can of something carbonated and caffeinated within reach at all times, and usually it's found on a trivet bearing the image of Sherlock Holmes. Her immediate supervisor adores her, but the rest of the higher-ups find her a mix of aggravating and endearing. But the reason she gets away with all of it? They literally can't replace her. She does the work of six people, handling everything from mundane secretarial work to tech support to public relations to website administration. She's taken all of three sick days in the course of four years and, because of the peculiar situation in which she was hired and the additional duties she's been forced to shoulder, is the only person in the entire world who knows how to do her job. She is Super Secretary. Metal quote:This troper knows a semi-literal Bunny Ears Lawyer in the form of a friend who's, yes, a laywer and who also occasionally cosplays. I've been instructed to ask for 'the otaku' if I'm trying to call her up at work. Also, plenty of the other lawyers this troper met while interning at a firm would probably qualify, particularly the chain-smoking, metal-loving, ever-cursing, Lamborghini-driving Criminal Lawyer and the football mad lawyers who spent all of two hours trying to persuade this troper to root for their team.

Outside of the military or hospitals, I can't think of anywhere that "Dr/Mr/Ms Stodgypants" is expected.

Moon Slayer posted:Holy poo poo I can't get over how wacky and original all these people are! God wouldn't you just LOVE to work with the office administrator who thinks no-one else on the planet can do their job. Half of them probably only keep their job because their employers are probably scared they'll get sued for firing someone with autism. Or they're under those schemes where the government pays their wages to keep them off the streets. Joey Freshwater posted:What I never get about these is why are they always labeled Husband/Wife or whatever. Why wouldn't you just use the actual names? I had to block a couple on Facebook who called each other hubby and wifey. They'd totally do the stupid nerf gun poo poo. But there's so much drama between the two of them it'd take their own thread to describe it all.

He's saying that using your boss's first name and having some latitude to eat lunch whenever you feel like it are normal aspects of any job where you don't have to wear a nametag - not indicators of untouchable uber-worker status. Tropers are just that out of touch.

This trooper has graduated top of his class in the Navy Seals, and has been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and has over 300 confirmed kills. He is trained in gorilla warfare and is the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.

You forgot the "twist" that these things usually have, like "this trooper has graduated top of his class in the Navy Seals, and has been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and has over 300 confirmed kills. He is trained in gorilla warfare and is the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. However, despite this, he still can't do long division, is afraid of guinea pigs, and still can't focus on a task for more than ten minutes before getting bored or distracted due to the rapid functioning of their mind."

I finally bothered to look up what Bunny Ears Lawyer was on tvtropes and barely made it two paragraphs in. That website has become a den of autism. They have a goddamn page for everything that's ever been written through some necessity to label and subdivide all pop culture.

No lie an autistic dude first told me about TVTropes well over ten years ago but barely attempted to explain what the gently caress it was, so I never bothered to check it out so my own laziness stopped a young, impressionable me from becoming a troper.

I like their pages on video game tropes mostly because it's kind of interesting from a game design perspective. Unless it's for JRPG's or visual novels (how are those even considered games), then it's the same old poo poo.

They would send a clueless grad student like me.

According to Snopes, a grad student originally wrote it as a joke back in the 90s, and it's been pedaled around as real since then. I'm guessing he had similar experiences as you.

Blackquote:This Troper has a golden brown light caramel complexion under the Los Angeles sun, But I'm very fair skin otherwise. My dad folks are creole, but most of my fam consists of fair skin blacks. I have loads of stories to tell but I'll keep it brief.. Caramel quote:This troper and her sister have light skin tones and long hair. The two questions that we frequently hear are A)Are you twins?(which is SO OBVIOUS it's ridiculous) and B)What are you mixed with?. This troper, whose mother is black(although very light compared to her dark parents) and whose father is black(from what i'm told), has had to field off many questions as to what other ethnicity I am. This troper doesn't exactly know whether to describe herself as light skin or not actually. Most dark skinned friends have considered me light-skinned, one even claiming I looked more like a "dirty mexican" than a black person, while a light skinned friend said I was too dark to participate in "Michael Jackson Day"(where light skin people take the day off to celebrate the day Michael Jackson turned white-he was joking).I've even had two close friends arguing over whether I was considered dark or light. I've always leaned more towards carmel. Jive quote:An interesting addendum to this discussion; it seems But Not Too Black also applies to attitudes as well as skin color. For instance, this troper has noticed people warm up considerably when he's using standard jive talk, like "Stop trippin'", or "Holla back". But...once you start getting into Gangsta rap lingo like "Screw these hos" folks tend to stiffen a little. (Personally, I'd stiffen too, but anyway...)
