Eh. Kids do stuff like this sometimes. My kids write stupid letters like this as part of their pretend games.

The definite STDH is whatever story the parent is telling about the kid trying to pass it off as real.

That story doesn't immediately scream fake to me like most others, BUT it was posted to Reddit for fake internet points so either it is made up or the parents are exploiting their child for karma.

Either way burn Reddit to the ground

Does it? I didn't know that. I don't have the can, but the remote on the FireTV stick worked out of the box with no training or anything.

I feel like there's a mismatch between the amount/quality of the writing/syntax and the handwriting quality. Like, any kid beyond first or second grade shouldn't have hand-writing that bad, and in first grade (maybe second also but I can only speak for first since my mom taught it for decades) kids generally are just writing individual sentences.

I uh...some years back I found an old lovely paper I wrote in either middle school or early high school and my handwriting looked like that. Though I had impeccable spelling and decent grammar. My handwriting has only somewhat improved in the intervening decade.

- no letterhead
- handwritten, poorly
- what school sends letters home on lined paper?
- it suggests that the student is in grade school, but I'm Pretty Sure video gamew classes are only in college or higher
- no way an elementary school would recommend a student stay up all night
- What school administration would sign a form lettervas "the school"? not even trying
- getting low grades in one class is enough for expulsion? bullshit

Guys, pretty sure this is bullshit and obviously written by a student for zany internet points.

Depends on the school? First graders IM(current)E can write way more than individual sentences. They might not write as fast or have as much stamina as older kids but they can definitely write that amount. A second grader could definitely write that.

I think its more iosm than STDH for the reason drunk tomate posted

Handwriting chat- I've seen numbers adult men with handwriting that bad, and with worse spelling.

I want to believe that is real, not just because it looks like some dumb poo poo my cousin would have pulled, but because it is cute. I also want to believe the parrot one.

Sort of on the same lines, but yesterday my (very) new girlfriend phoned me when I was in the pub. My ringtone is the Nakamura theme.
At least 15 people joined in with the tune. There weren't many more in the pub.
Made it kind of cool, but I also got booed when I answered the call!

I mean Nakamura has a catchy as hell theme but the idea of at least random fifteen people humming along is right up there with the entire room applauding.

I was directly asked by professors to do something about my non-legible scrawl. I began to print instead, which got me an instant A when one glanced down at the test I'd just turned in. Sadly, he did not ask me to marry him, not did the class erupt in applause. I'm starting to feel cheated.

If the line was pretty far from the front door, what was the brother doing out there? Who just orders pizza and sits outside to wait for them instead of making them ring the doorbell like a normal person? Why would he need to step over the line if the guy was already close enough to hand the pizza to?

Plus even going by Supernatural's stupid rules, if he were a demon he could have just gone around it. It has to completely block an entrance or be a closed circle to work.

People sometimes want to sit outside instead of inside? Don't particularly see the issue there.

It just seemed like a really contrived way to give the pizza guy a reason to cross the pile of spilled salt. Like he was wondering "what if people ask how he got to the door to ring the bell? oh I'll just make my brother be standing outside when he gets there".

It is the least bullshit part of the story, I admit, but the whole thing is a stupid "what if Supernatural was real guyz" story so I don't believe any of it, even the somewhat normal parts.

The thing that gives this one away as STDH is that just like every other fake letter written for Internet points it goes out of its way to remain as anonymous as possible.

If it's nice out, I'll sit on the porch and have a smoke when it gets near the delivery time. Some places including Domino's have a progress tracker so it's pretty easy to tell. Saves my time and the driver's, plus they don't have to cross the salt line.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, it's a story about a driver with a sense of humor, and the guy told the story in a joking way.

You guys know the salt thing isn't only from Supernatural, right? The superstition of if you spill salt, throw some over your left shoulder?

Obviously the story's stupid and mostly a joke, but let's not assign attributes to someone just to make them more pathetic.
