Dave: Oh no.
Lauren: What?
Dave: I'm about to say something that is going to freak you guys out, but has no impact on your life at all. It's just something I will deal with.
Me: What's wrong?
Dave: I have flaming hot Cheetos in my car and I want them but I don't want any of you to eat them.
Talyor: Man, I saw those earlier. I asked you 'how hot are those Cheetos?' and you said 'flaming hot'.

Sometimes I forget that I'm an introvert.
I’ll spend too much time hanging out with people and then get irritable and overemotional for dumb reasons. Only to realize later that OH DUH I overdid it.

student: can i borrow a pencil
teacher: i don't know, CAN you?

Another fun fact: there’s already a response article out there blaming the lack of...

le-paon-blanc: loser-baby: Why are “naturally thin” and “born with a fast metabolism” totally acceptable explanations for weight, but “naturally fat” and “born with a slow metabolism” seen as “excuses” for “laziness/irresponsibility/greediness”?
