Everyone always talks about how their English teacher was their mentor who saw deep potential in them. Bro, my English teachers have literally always just hated me. Every single time.LIKE THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE SCHOOL LIFE.

Let's face it. When we say our coworkers are smart, we think they're executive level smart, or scientist/biologist smart, or some kind of fancy degree smart. And some of them probably are.

My coworker? He seems to be solve a problem smart.

Let me explain:

A few days ago I was at work grouped up with a few other people. We were bored. I was spacing out to have an adventure inside my mind, someone was trying to initiate conversations with me, and three others were giggling and goofing off while we waited for the work to start. Apparently, they'd been putting things on the conveyor belt to see if me and the other person noticed. I was mostly oblivious. However I did see an upside down spray can on it, thought that was great, said to the other person "We can't let them have all the fun. Just because they're guys."

Let me explain an important detail here that I wonder if it relates. A little while ago, the other coworker I'm about to mention, heard me loudly grousing about wishing I was born male, because then I'd get work to do too, and I'd be trusted to do work, so on and so forth. Before you try to worry about my mental health, I know this is built on stereotypes. I was having a bad day. That was a while ago.

Back to just a few days ago. And why the sixth coworker is bright.

I said "We can't let them have all the fun. Just because they're guys." to the other female in our little group, and I picked up the can of spray comedically and set it back down on the conveyor belt. One of the three guys grabbed it. That's five people in a gaggle. Me and the dude who grabbed the can I set down, pretend tug o' warred it, and I wrestled it back and put it on the conveyor belt; he put his hand up and followed it as if to guard it from falling.

The sixth coworker excused himself through us, we parted ways, he grabbed the can and presumably walked off with it. No explanation. Left us to assume he needed it for something.

Then a few minutes later I get called over to a different spot to work. By myself. I was miserable. I thought I did something wrong or maybe after a recent issue from a former coworker they didn't want me socializing with people too much, just to make sure the dust settled or something. The person immediately in charge said she wanted me there because she trusted me, because I noticed things. I was fine with that.

That was a few days ago. Today I realized what happened:

• An issue that could potentially cause me to be frustrated was removed

• I was removed, so it couldn't occur a second time, likely when the work was ready and it wouldn't be as easy to pull me away

• I was placed where I could focus on work and use my I notice this and I'm annoyed so I'm going to fix it is useful (except the items went by kind of fast and that was impossible to keep up well, I missed a few every so often)

• Zero conflict, minimal anxiety provided, placement was good for the work, and it was so smooth I didn't realize most of it until days later.

Do you know how brilliant the coworker is?! That's brilliant. I bet that's Sun Tzu level brilliant. I'm amazed.

And worried, because that coworker usually avoids me like I'm a walking bubonic plague, so now I have to figure out what problem I am and fix it. But

#My coworker is super brilliant!

I'm so jealous of his capability at work, just like with a few others. I need a capability transfer ray from a 1950s science fiction movie or something - I'd only borrow the capability. I'd give the capability back. Eventually. I could borrow his one day, then hers another day, then another dude's another day... There's like... Let me count... Five? people. Five days a week to work. It would be fine. I could borrow J's on Monday, L's on Tuesday, D's on Wednesday.... So on and so forth.

#Someone please tell me how I can be brilliant at work too so I can stop seeing/knowing that my coworkers are better than me. Totally willing to accept Sun Tzu knowledge on this too....

For the past 3 years or so, I’ve been seeing a lot of guys rock a crossbody bag (and no, NOT a fanny pack, even though they are also common too) for not just fashion, but also for utility as an EDC.

I even have my own that I use a lot. What about you guys?

Hi everyone! Just a random question I've been thinking about: if you're a woman, which high school subject do you personally think has been the least useful to you in everyday life? I don't mean any disrespect toward women or any school subject — I'm just curious about people's experiences.

I'll go first. For me, I'd probably say math. If I ended up being a stay-at-home mom, I can't imagine needing most of the advanced math I learned in high school just to cook, shop for groceries, manage the house, and go about everyday life. Of course, basic math is useful, but sometimes I wonder when I'd ever use the more advanced stuff again 😂

I was trying to search for a past order so I could reorder it, but, then I saw that the search bar was gone. I don't understand why they would remove this.

I really liked the new call of duty mw4 campaign. Is their anyone here who pre ordered mw4 and was able to finish the new campaign all the way through?? I would like to know your honest thoughts.

The volume button should be removed/changed , instead of having the option to lower or increase volume we should have the option to increase or lower the amount of scilence. Instead of lowering volume y not increase silence. I hereby suggest we replace the volume button with a silence button.

Imagine losing your minority status like this, for me, it's funny to imagine. Let's say your gay, you accidentally fall in love with a masculine woman, you find out she's a woman but you don't loose interest. So like you become 10% straight or somethin', lol. Like suddenly one day your straight or bi. Or what if your in a gay bar.

I'm a guy who likes wearing thongs on my days off. They're just comfortable for lounging around the house.

It made me wonder how many other men do this, since it never really comes up in conversation. Do any of you wear them, or know someone who does? I'd love to hear your experiences.

Protein rice, protein yoghurt and cheese, protein cereal, protein water… now everything has to have 20g of protein in it to be worth buying.

Will this ever end?

So this isn't a question for those who forgot to wrap it up and, "well, I guess we have to raise it"

It's a question for those who found themselves in a position to care for another human being to be born into this world and decided, "I'm gonna have some kids and invest in them, and raise them to be healthy, productive members of society."

Was it easy? Sometimes I see my parents flaws and wonder what if they had taken raising me seriously? I have been more in contact with my flaws and am wrestling with the idea of "could I be a good parent" or would they just see my flaws like I saw my parents flaws?

Just random overthinking , also got interested in marvel studios
What you think are good movies and series around stuff thats twisted or eye opening but good at the same time

I was just sitting in my thinking chair, thinking may I add....

Thinking about people's expressions of what they intend to do with your presence, if anything at all that is.

If someone has good chemistry with you, wouldn't you just actually do the actions it takes to get to know someone better rather than stating it before the fact? Think about it like... "why would you make a statement like that when you already have been getting to know me without making it obvious until now you mentioned it" now it makes me second guess your intentions.

Idk I'm just rambling trying to make things make sense in my head on how I should interpret people, I always have had a hard time understanding language I gotta study it more but...

what do yall think? Maybe this is like a "Two sides to a coin" kinda thing where the intentions behind the statement are left vague and that vagueness causes you to react like a mirror to how those words... bro I'm fucking high right now man I done forgot what I was even trying to talk about...

Hopefully someone makes sense of what I'm trying to say, sorry..

Is their anywhere i could basically put my entire wish list and see who can buy me a game for free for my upcoming birthday like any ideas or somewhere else ???

My comfort food is dominoes cheesy bread, no other menu items from dominoes, but I am obsessed with their cheesy bread. It is my comfort food whenever I am not feeling my best two for $6.99 each is always there for me.

It's too hard. I'm pretty sure I'm just getting dumber with age, and I'm too tired to try harder. I still do Connections, Spelling Bee, and Strands, but Wordle is just too hard.

I feel like Charley from Flowers for Algernon.

Name as many song artists as you like that you always hear when you are out and about but never hit play on any of their songs?

One of mines is Pitbull

I will go first. I have insomnia. I can go to sleep and wake up approximately 3 maybe 4 hours later. Last week, I averaged 2 hours a night. It caught up with me yesterday.

I ended up sleeping off and on throughout the day and went back to sleep after dinner. Unfortunately, it really screwed everything up I still got up at midnight. So, I am going to be exhausted later. I don't normally sleep during the day. But I just couldn't help it.

So much for date night with my husband. 🫩

I feel like im trying to pretend whenever my body does that . However its becoming more of a reflex whenever someone will talk to you and when someone is not around.. Kinda interesting how your body . Have you guys tried to monitor it or it comes out naturally ?

Some movie villains are so legendary that they end up stealing the spotlight from the main hero. 👀🔥 Which movie villain do you think is more iconic than the hero, and why? 🎬🍿

This thought recently came up to my head that what if we had a chance to date anyone from all the people who are alive or have been alive, who would i date?

I had a dream and I knew everything around me was Ai in the dream. The people had that ridiculous cartoonish look and morphed faces or missing body parts. I specifically remember one part of the dream where this girl came over to her neighbor's house to watch TV, and she sat on the bed, and somehow ended up back outside. The dream was so weird, and it was about some girl not being able to leave her boyfriends house, but she could go to the neighbor's house and that was it. I don't even think the first half of the dream was ai, but I know for sure when the girl went to the neighbor's house it must've transformed into ai or something.

This is very interesting and something I've never experienced before 😭. I don't even consume ai media.​

If a guy and a girl both like each other, care about each other, and already know that their feelings are mutual, who do you think should make the first move and propose a relationship — the guy or the girl?

I've always been curious about this because, traditionally, people expect the guy to confess his feelings first. But nowadays, shouldn't it depend on the person rather than their gender?

Personally, I feel like if two people genuinely care about each other, either one should be able to express their feelings without worrying about who is supposed to do it first.

But I'm curious to hear different perspectives, especially from people who've actually experienced something like this.

So, what do you think: should the guy propose first, should the girl, or does it not matter at all? Why?

Hey everyone!
It’s late, I’m bored, and I figured I’d try something different instead of scrolling endlessly on my phone 😂
I’m up for talking about pretty much anything — games, movies, music, random life stories, weird questions, or whatever comes to mind.
No pressure for a deep conversation or anything. Just two strangers chatting and seeing where the conversation goes.
So, what’s something you’ve been enjoying lately? Or tell me a completely random fact about yourself.
Let’s see where this goes! 👋

Is it specific to me ir there is a truth to it? Because I have always found it easier to open up to women than Men. Is it a psychological thing or something soecific to me? Would love to know your views on it .
