    I knew a lady who claimed to be a show business extraordinaire: 20 years in the industry, experience behind and in front of the camera, writer, producer, actress, the whole nine yards. She clearly had rehearsed this claim and said it so often, she believed it. I fact checked her resume on the spot and it turned out she was a grifter with zero skills and even less talent. She didn't like being called out and tried to retaliate, by trying to plagiarize my work which crossed the line from being a delusional narcissist to being a criminal. She was already a laughing stock but after what she did to me, I made sure her reputation ended up in the toilet.

    A friend recounted how he watched his girlfriend pour a drink from a 2 liter bottle of soda, take a sip, then pour it down the drain. She then proceeded to pour herself another glass from the same bottle. He asked her what she was doing and she replied that the first glass was flat, and she thought there would be more carbonation further down in the bottle.

    I don't have a specific example, but I always notice when people gossip about peers while they're not around.
    If someone talks bad about their other friends while they're not around, you can be certain they talk down on you while you're not around too.
    People give themselves away and reveal how they will treat YOU by how they let you see them treating others.

    My favourite is when a teacher incorrectly corrected my spelling, power tripped and, by making a scene to try to humiliate me, made a fool of herself instead.
    This one time a teacher claimed i misspelled a word. It was a simple word i was confident in, so i refused to agree with her. We argued for a while, debating the reasons for our spelling, so i told her word's origin that made it impossible for her to be right. This sent my teacher into a power trip, she raged "How dare a student say a teacher is wrong! What do you know?". I refused to back down even more fiercly, because now it was not about spelling, it was about an outdated and damaging moral she wanted to use to make herself right just because. As we both grew more and more angry, my teacher demanded we go to an older teacher who "would put me in my place". Well, we stormed into another classroom and my teacher loudly asked the older teacher "The word is spelled this way, right?". She was wearing a very smug "you are about to get wooped" expression on her face. However, the older teacher told her she spelled the word wrong and even repeated the origin story i told before. She was confused to why we stormed in and why my teacher even asked her about something this simple. They were no other students there, but i wish there was a class full of them.
    Googling the word would have taken much less effort and didn't require making a scene, i am glad we went another way.

      They're technically right & wrong. So in the States we use "American" & "US Citizen" interchangeably, just as we do "America" & the "United States". All legal residents of Canada, Mexico & the US are Americans. Only those legally residents in the US are US Citizens. I'm sure it was meant more like a slip of the tongue & they meant America.

    I have two things to say. 1) Being a teacher myself, the stories about ignorant teachers make me wonder if they're really people who got a degree as a teacher. In case somebody doesn't know, to become a teacher one needs to learn about the discipline you'll be teaching and also about how that discipline is taught. You don't teach Math or History in the same way. I know that people who give classes aren't necessarily trained the right way, so perhaps some of these cases, at least, are due to schools hiring anybody who knows a little about a topic to give classes as if they knew what they're doing.
    2) Not what a student said, but what he asked me. I'm a university professor, and students have to write a couple of essays in my course. We begin by explaining what an essay is: its history, characteristics, etc. This student had a clear inferiority complex. He was friends with three or four other people who were all top of the class, but he wasn't. So he was always asking questions to try to prove that he knew more than his teachers and the students. This time, he asked: "Did Aristotle write essays?" with a smug face. I answered: "If you're asking if he was trying to write essays, clearly not because he wrote about 25 centuries ago and essays are much more recent, as we've seen. And if you're asking if we could call his writings essays, I've never really thought of that and I don't think I will." He had no answer. A student two rows closer to the front of the class looked at me and made a gesture that meant "There!" Everybody was tired of this little guy.

    Oil was found on mars. Just not the kind from the decomposition of biomatter. (Or hopefully not). Geothermal activity and chemical imbalances in the atmosphere can cause oil deposits to form. Which is why oil on earth is actually renewable at a rate greater than we are using it by several magnitudes. It is just whether or not we can actually siphon the deposits that causes scarcity.

She said the lady was picking up a cell phone tower from Mexico. I told her she lived in Florida. My lead with her full chest told me that she was picking up a cell tower in Mexico and if i didnt tell the lady that's whats happening she would write me up for insubordination. I told her that i wasnt going to tell this lady that because there was a 1000s miles of water between Florida and Mexico. The team laughed and i got wrote up for insubordination.

    Fun fact: Alaska can be called the easternmost and westernmost state because the Aleutian Islands cross the 180 degree meridian.
    Someone once confidently told me that the last time the United States was invaded was the War of 1812. I informed him that the last time the US had been invaded was when the IJN occupied two islands in the Aleutian chain in Alaska, which was a territory at the time.
    He was convinced that Alaska wasn't part of the US until 1959, when it achieved statehood. No amount of arguing or evidence could convince him otherwise. For context, we've been part of the US since being bought in 1867.

    By the way it was the sups job to count the safe every night and yes we were off every night leading to checking everything in the safe room 3x. The reason usually was they miscounted a drawer or they missed a stack of bills ($1s were in bundles of 25, $5s in 20, $10s in 10), or my favorite straight up counting wrong (it was often and in my defense of irritation it was usually them holding like 5 bills and having 23 on the table and telling me 30).

    12:07 Well this is one case where the OP is the one confidently incorrect... aaand if you don't believe me you can look it up yourself because this stuff is first page Google nonsense.
    English is NOT indigenious to the island and did not originate in England and anyone who did any reading on it would know that. It was the language spoken by Anglo-Saxon invaders 🙄just because it's been in the area for a while doesn't make it the native language or originate in England any more than it originated in North America. The only difference between England and North America is that England has a few centuries on North America with its invaders - social upheaval - language changing ove rtime.
    Anyway, English is a Germanic language. The only other Germanic language being spoken in Britain is Scots (yes, Scots, not Scottish, there's two different languages, look it up) which entered the island at the same time and has the same language root as English. Unsurprisingly, there's a sister language to English (as in, they are descended from the same root) still spoken in parts of Germany (where, again unsurprisingly, these invaders were from.) It's called Frisian. Yes, five hundred years and many social upheavals makes a difference so you'd be hard pressed to understand Frisian. There's still no denying the languages are related. Then there is the shared root between Old English/Anglisc/Anglo-Frisian and other early German languages. Anglisc was spoken by Anglos, Saxons and Jutes ftr.
    Native languages, and are STILL considered native languages, of Britain (as in the island just to be ultra clear) include Manx, Welsh, Cornish and Gaelic, and a few others (if you want a list, again, look it up). Entirely different language groupings, and there's actually two native language groupings in Ireland and Britain; Brythonic(Welsh, Cornish, old Brittonic, et ctr) and Celtic(Gaelic, Irish) to use terms people will understand more readily though the proper terms are P-Celtic and Q-Celtic respectively.
    Here in Wales there is actually a drive by the Welsh Government to convert all Englishized place names back to original Welsh place names. Welsh is also the native, official language of Wales and all of the road signs have to be stamped with Welsh and English.
    England long ago lost its native tongue, Common Brittonic, which survives only in old place names, languages like Welsh and Cornish and in small populations across the island, though Welsh speakers are by far the most numerous.
