I remember being in line somewhere and some woman was talking loudly into her phone that was on speaker that she was holding just a foot away from her face. I’m sure she thought we were all very impressed she had a cell phone & very interested in her conversation. I remember thinking how stupidly inconsiderate I would have to be if I was the one doing that.
Yes indeed; might have seen it on an Inside Edition type of show 15 years or so ago. The footage they bothered to show was black and white but clear. It was obvious they were not exaggerating.
One of the funniest parts of the whole thing was that the guy actually agreed to an interview and said he was “set up.” Yeah…..
OMG, yes! Some years people complain about why didn’t someone of a certain demographic win an award. Then immediately someone of that demo wins an award. Is the award really as valuable anymore? If I was one of these sudden award recipients, I would see right through it & feel diluted about the “win.”
Sounds like a good teacher ultimately. I’m an advocate for concise personally otherwise you just get English majors scoring higher in anatomy class because they more easily put more fluff on paper.
I swear I used to get marked down bc my left hand would smear the paper making it look like chicken scratch. My content could be a gem but some teachers would probably have the paper already marked down in their mind on sight.
I liked the aside; strangely even when people like that guy are proven wrong with a preponderance of evidence they’ll still argue. There’s nothing you can do with someone like that. Then they’ll take your silence as a victory.
