The house cleaning dude is obviously renovating the master bathroom as a surprise for his wife. I bet he’s just finished cutting the joists so she can have a sunken tub!

Kurieg posted:AITA for proving to my boyfriend the “nerds” never cared about the “popular” kids in high school? I've seen a lot of people who thought that something huge for them was huge for everyone. On the nerd side, I've run into people who were heavy into raiding in old WOW and talked about how the whole server was looking up to them because they were so elite. When I mentioned that the people I played with didn't put a whole lot of attention to raid guilds and mostly remembered to 'which guild always bails on dungeon runs after the boss they want' to avoid them in PUGs and definitely didn't even know the names of individuals, they reacted similarly to Mr. Football here. Pope Corky the IX posted:At least he's only twenty-four and learning that nobody gives a poo poo about high school. Some guys carry that around with them well into their forties. We all remember in 1966 when Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.

My favorite part about that is he absolutely refused to believe his wife, to the point of calling her a liar, because he insisted that she, like every girl in the school, was secretly lusting after him for his success. To the point that the only way she could get him to stop was to categorically shut him down. If he hadn't pushed he could have lived in his delusion.

I'd bet real money that the OP in that high school story never attended a single game that her now-boyfriend played in, as she was too busy studying to pass her four AP classes, or taking SAT tutoring, or working on her extracurriculars, in order to build the perfect college application so she can into her preferred ivy. If she ever had an evening or a Saturday afternoon free, there are dozens of things she'd rather be doing than attend a high school football game.

Pretty sure the jock-nerd dichotomy is a thing that only existed in the heads of mid-century screenwriters. In other words, it's entirely the work of the real weirdos and freaks of high school - theatre kids.

So many of them were saying that if she wanted her parents attention she should do something to earn it. This thread moves fast, but I just got through reading those comments as well, and I thought the same about crazy pills. Comments treating family dynamics like a competition were getting upvotes, comments about the importance of parents giving attention and support to all their kids were getting downvotes. Peak Reddit brain.

Dude, my graduating class had almost 350 people. You think I knew who everybody was? I can name 2 football players; one because he was next to me in homeroom because of alphabetical seating arrangements, and one because he ended up the class president. And I never went to a single football game. I couldn't have cared less about a bunch of people I didn't know.

My graduating class had 30 and barely had any identifiable cliques because everyone's in multiple overlapping social circles and activities. At those numbers there's no real room for competition in extracurriculars since they need warm bodies, if you show up to practices you're in. Maybe there's some intermediate size between that and large anonymous classes where people give a poo poo about cliques, but probably not.

None of the sports teams at my old high school were very good, so nobody really cared about them. The only real divide was basically between the college-bound kids and the druggies and flunkies who disappeared midway though high school either to drop out and  all day, or went to the tech school to learn how to change oil.My graduating class had about 300 people in it, and I probably never interacted with well over half of them.

My high school very much had a popular kids vs nerds thing going on in 98-00. The only popular kids name I remember is sadly the most popular guy who was extremely nice to everyone and went on to be a very successful dancer appearing in multiple movies and tv shows, but recently succumbed to suicide a couple of years ago. He was a really wonderful guy.

The roommate was not justified in taking that gift card. But karmically the teacher did deserve to lose it after calling the people.whongave it to her stupid because she hates chain restaurants. But it was not the op's place to fulfill that karma.

At my school the most successful football kid hung with the nerds and weirdos. He was alright. The second most successful football kid was also a bit of a weirdo. He once deliberately stabbed himself in the gum with a pencil. He signed to an AFL team, but his girlfriend at the time accidentally caused a woman's death via radio prank, and I don’t think the relationship or career really went much further after that. I think he ended up a real estate salesman. Anyway, I don’t recommend rural Australian public schools to anybody. Creature fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Mar 22, 2024 |
