Several months ago, my dad and I were at Disneyland. One of his favorite rides is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. While we were waiting in line, I noticed that the person behind me was wearing a TADC jacket with Caine on it. I asked them if Caine was their favorite character, and they said yes, and then they added, "I have something for you. I've been waiting to give it to the first person who noticed my jacket." From their bag, they removed a little crochet bee.

Then a boy standing behind us said, "I watch that show, too!" We all discussed TADC for a few minutes until it was our turn on the ride. After that, I never saw them again. Still, I appreciate the irony of meeting two other TADC fans at Disneyland of all places.

Last day of high school im actually dying

ITS A FUN READ PLS DO BUT IF U DONT WANT TO I’LL PUT THE TLDR ON TOP: My friend starts an argument in the middle of class in the last ten minutes of high schools cause some kids are laughing at me.

Had my last day of high school today! Yay! Only had two periods of classes nice chill.

2nd period nice and chill, potluck last period. Last ten minutes of class a group of boys says something harmless to me but then starts laughing to their friends about me.

im sitting next to my friends and I shit you not one of them stops(we’ll call her Mia for anominity since that’s a random popular girl’s name), she just pauses… listens… makes sure they’re laughing at me

AGAIN LAST TEN MINUTES OF HIGH SCHOOL

She’s a row behind me, these boys are two rows ahead of me and separated by a walkway in the middle for a teacher so they’re a good halfway across the class.

She realizes they’re laughing at me and decides it’s just fades on sight.

across the room “Do we have a fucking problem?”

Dead silence… the room is just paralyzed… everyone is frozen like deer in headlights, all heads on us.

“Are you laughing at him because it sounds like we have a problem.”

English teacher.

“Hey, hey Mia what’s going on it’s the last ten minutes of class”

“They’re laughing at him”

English teacher calls the lead boy over and tells them that it s best to separate from the rest of them for the last ten minutes of class

he walks away, Mia half under her breath but clearly loud enough to hear goes “bitch.”

my English teacher just goes “Hey!” One more time.

I'm filing stuff online for my university (very boring) and I gotta put in all my grades from the past 6 years together one at a time.

It's brought back this wonderful memory from when I almost failed my economy class in first year (yes, if you study languages and translation they still make you take an economics class with a teacher that shows up 1/3 of the time, I don't know either), I scored like 5/20 in the first semester and just figured I was fucked for the second one and I wouldn't be able to pass the year, so I had this very intensive 10 step plan to cheat during the exam without getting caught 100% (truly a james bondian scheme), but then at the exam before it started, this girl in front of me didn't have her calculator so she said she'd write all the answers in it for me if I lend it to her.

In the end I didn't have to go through my genious plan which involved a pack of tissues with most the classes written on the inside i'd have to read while pretending to blow my nose for an hour, and I still passed the exam, all thanks to her.

I actually found the calculator in a box of stuff I think I meant to sell a while ago, and since I didn't touch it again since then (never had another use for a 80€ calculator) the message was actually still in it!

Anyway, thank you random economy girl, I dropped out and then re-enrolled into a different course but that was still very awesome!

My younger sibling (gen z) doesn’t know the Chocolate Guy!!!!

I called him the “sensation of the times” which hurt my sibling soul

My brother and I were once out meeting up with some of my friends for lunch, and he goes "I think I see them, is it those gay pirates?" and he was right, those were my friends and now that he had pointed it out they did look like gay pirates.

Guys I fear my sense of humor really is way too similar to Dazai..

So I was going out for a spontaneous night-time walk on the beach with a friend… I am pretty familiar with the beach at night, but she’s never experienced it before.

She was questioning me on if its like, safe and legal to go out at night, which I found pretty funny.

Like “are there seagulls out there at night though? Do you think they’ll bother us?”

And so I, seeing this as the perfect opportunity to mess with her, replied entirely seriously: “nah, the seagulls wont be out there. The only thing we really need to worry about are the night crabs.”

Now keep in mind: this is one of my dearest childhood friends. We have quite literally known eachother since birth. She is also generally VERY smart, and is a BIOLOGY major.

But apparently I said it with SUCH seriousness that she actually started to worry… “the night crabs? What are those? I’ve never heard of those before, oh my gosh, are they dangerous??”

“Oh it makes sense you havent heard of them,” I told her, “seeing as they don’t exist.”

She punched me. Lol.

But it was worth it, because while we were out on the beach later she warily asked me MULTIPLE times if I was SURE night crabs don’t really exist…

Anyways. I may be full of shit, but I, personally, think I am hilarious.
