There's so much to unpack there. Why is one section whited out? What do the words in the parenthesis mean, and why are they crossed out? Why would anyone believe that a test would include making your own meme?

i've had enough tests in highschool where the teachers put silly things like making a poem about chemistry for some extra points to believe this is a thing that could happen.

I am a teacher. We do stuff like that for lots of pedagogical reasons, but the main ones are 1) it gets students to think in a new way about what they are learning, which can lead to new insights as well as helping a student remember a concept and 2) because we want learning to be fun :)

This is probably fake tho.

Turning his phone off would have been 10 times easier and more effective, even if this was real he's clearly be a moron for doing needlessly complicated poo poo instead of an easy solution.

That was a Fresh Prince bit, except it was about a pager. That's how old the joke this guy tried to pass off as a real story is.

Also come to think of it, the entire joke behind the bit was what a terrible idea it was

Yeah, and at standardized tests they specifically ask for phones to be turned off.

Whenever I see this I'm always like "why is it weird for your phone to go off in Canberra???" until I remember which particular stupid stdh it is.

Also in our equivalents you have to leave your phone in a big pile at the front of the classroom along with your bag. Having your phone off but on your person is very much a failable offence.

A "perfect" score on the ACT is 36 if I remember correctly (which I may not). A girl a grade younger than me got a 35 back in the early 90s and it was a big deal.

I don't know if it was true or not but there was a story that the head of the School Board in my district got a perfect score and they made him retake the test

Just say the drat ham tastes great, but have you tried the more expensive kind? It's amazing. Then offer the slice to them and make money. I would complain too if the deli person started talking about their religion to me.

If you keep strict kosher then you actually would ask for a slicer that hadn’t touched ham

I mean, it's STDH but people have been utter jackasses to me about pork and wine. The thing is, you don't go into a calm discussion of religion, you just learn to deflect and not even let it come up in the first place. Like the comment above, you just say something like "Oh our customers love that ham" or "Actually people really rave other this other more expensive one."

I used to say "I'm celiac so idk if [$4 biscuit full of wheat] is good" but now I just say "yeah it's nice but what's even better is [$8 cake full of wheat], especially with ice cream (also contains wheat in the glucose syrup for some reason, but importantly is like $1.50 extra)".

I think it's meant to be a poorly-paced joke? Like the setup would be getting you to expect some affirmative "you are beautiful, precious granddaughter" but then veers into "it's me, I'm the most beautiful, get on your knees and worship me, peasant".

The Bogey is a philosopher who knows

r/IDontWorkHereLady is an absolute goldmine of stdh. This prick, for example:

an absolute liar posted:

Oh so I had a fun one the day after Christmas. Got lots of gift cards so I went to a store that has an “eye” for a logo because I wanted to try to get a pair of AirPods. (Probably my fault for daring the after Christmas crowd) I keep my badge for work on a lanyard that I use a keychain/loop to attach to my pants since I have a real habit of misplacing it.

Anyway I was looking for something sweet after not getting my AirPods since they were sold out and this crabby old bitch came waddling down the cookie aisle. I at the time had my actually head phones in listening to ‘Being Scared’ (awesome YouTube channel for fans of horror). She’ll be COB for obvious reasons.

COB: snaps fingers hey you!

Me: internal screaming while pausing at a good part of the story yes ma’am?

COB: where is the pop?

oh this is an obvious snowbird FYI I live in Arizona and when these types come down here for winter it’s like a haven for IDWHL scenarios.

Me: I think it’s two aisles over but I’m not sure as I don’t work here, have a nice day though.

As I unpause and start to walk away I feel my headphones get ripped from my ear which caused my phone to fall out of my hoodie pocket with them. I stared at them for a few seconds deciding how to react

COB: serves you right you little brat. You young people never respect your elders how dare you turn your back to me!

Me: first of all I’m 35, second of all for the second time now, I don’t work here so I’m not someone who is required to put up with any of your poo poo and even if I did work here that’s no way to treat people. If this is the kind of person you are I can only imagine what your kids are like. It’s parents like you that raise entitled little assholes that’s the real trouble with today’s youth. Don’t touch me again.

she looked like a fish trying to inhale as much water as she could with how her mouth was hung agape as I turned to walk away I feel a strong tug on my lanyard that is literally hanging down by my penis.

Me: can you not touch that you’re really close to my penis!

this gets the attention of a nearby manager

Manager: what’s going on over here?

COB: this employee of yours wouldn’t help me and swore at me!

Me: I’m sorry miss manager, but there’s probably someone with a very large butterfly net looking for this woman who has just physically assaulted me twice and she also tried to sexually assault me once.

COB: see! he’s such a smart rear end and I would do no such thing!

Me: uh ma’am you still haven’t released your hold of my lanyard that again for the second time is right next to my special place and there’s cameras all over this section that just recorded you ripping my headphones out causing my phone to fall to the floor.

manager looks at her, looks at me and looks at my lanyard that she still hasn’t released yet

Manager: uh ma’am he doesn’t work here, he’s wearing another company’s name on his lanyard and a t shirt that says ‘Bullet Club’ on it. How could you possibly think he works here? I can also clearly see your holding him by a lanyard that is hanging down by his privates, can you let him go or do I call security? He’d also be well within his rights to physically defend himself at this point.

COB: well I have never!

Me: I’m sure that’s not true....can you let go now please?

she finally lets go and is trespassed from the store.

The manager apologized, I told her not to worry as it wasn’t even close to her fault. I have still yet to find my AirPods, maybe after New Years...

Edit: thanks for the Gold kind stranger!
