First I was like "ohhh boy" and then I was like "okay that genuinely made me laugh" I really hope this was a joke right?

I'm stumped as to why this funny

Boom tish...

Of course. It's a matter of pride.

I’m probably gonna repeat myself more than once here… Heartbreaking

I read somewhere that the person who created insulin didn't patent it so that it could be given to people who need it to live at no cost to them. I may not have that quite right though.

instead it'll hit a ton of plastic

My husband and I were curious a few days ago about how much rent we have paid to our current landlord. It's over 160k. The house we just found and got denied for is only 149k, lol

And when the garbage man clocks out for the day that's it, job is over till you clock back in.

Oof. Sometimes people can suck hardcore.

So true

Depends upon the cop and it depends upon the crime

Technically he only had eleven true friends. The other one was a toxic backstabber who literally sold him out.

It’s sad that we have to make jokes out of our healthcare system in order to cope with it.

theres no other way

Let me end it this way...

This is right on the nose. It was incredibly sad to see how many people really don't care about anyone but themselves

YASS!!!!!

"Every generation blames the one before..." Good song, true too.

Heavy sigh

Harsh.

they are literally permanently embedded into your head, theres no getting rid of them

sad

A 29 year old professional footballer had a cardiac arrest last week on the pitch in the middle of an international game. You never know when people are going to need assistance.

Karma!

We are always our own worst enemy

same for me too! and it caused me to not hear everything else read out loud.

Same here! But sometimes I got mixed up or a kid skipped their turn so I had to read a different text instead and messed up.

I suspect it started before that, and is what made you feel the need to rehearse.

It probably started before that, otherwise you wouldn't have been doing that.

I always hoped my section would span a page-turn - I liked the challenge of reading it out loud through the page turn without breaking cadence.

Yup

We all counted, but sometimes the teacher changed the order

I used to do the same thing :(

especially if they skipped a kid or something went wrong lol

It feels nice to know other people had this anxiety also, not being alone in that struggle evens decades after still feels comforting.

In 2nd grade reading group, didn't wait my turn, just went ahead reading the book and didn't pay attention so that when my turn came, I didn't know where my paragraph was. Teacher and the whole class thought I couldn't read.

Me too and to this day I can still feel the anxiety..

I'm somewhat of an a**clown , but my ability to laugh at myself has been my truest saving grace. Don't fear mistakes. Literally everyone makes them. The US built a spacecraft and it was a collaboration between countries. When it went into space it exploded immediately when it left Earth's atmosphere.They built it incorrectly because one was using metric measurements and one was using US standard , and all those geniuses didn't notice. Mistakes are ok , and they're a lot less painful when you can laugh about it

I think that was pretty smart.

I'd just do thar because I often didn't pay attention and just wanted to remember which part was mine

Isn't this normal? ;)

Me too!

I did the same but motsly because all the other kids read too slowly and I was bored and wanted to read ahead. So I counted what part will be mine to not be lost when it was my turn.

SNAP. Socially awkward and anxious people let us unite from a virtual distance and raise a glass

Ditto! Most awful feelings ever!!! It's like "wait, I do know how to read, I'm just panicking

I did the same thing 😂

Bro I'm 36 and I still do this ...
