    My ex is a school teacher. She would be in tears at times because of all the “active shooter” drills they would have to go through. Where if there is an incident they have already planned the furniture that would be moved to block the door, and where to take shelter in the rooms to avoid gun fire from the hallways. But more importantly, the absolute shit-tier kids who are a huuuge pain in the ass, who find ways to get under their skins and always have an excuse why the rules don’t apply to them trying to get away with anything. But even worse…their small-town wealthy over-entitled insufferable moms who think their precious little child is only getting bad grades because the teacher isn’t good enough, and even though the kid dicks around in class on their phones all day never turns in homework and fails tests…the administration makes them adjust grades so the parents will stfu.

    Yeah, let’s add a gun to that scenario

    I once got called in to diagnose why it took 5 minutes to open up a single Excel file. The PC itself was a little dated and underpowered, but the file size was huuuge…like hundreds of MB.

    It finally opened. There was ugly table-formatting…to the entire spreadsheet. Colored cell borders, alternating background fill, text and font formatting applied to every single cell; columns A-IV and rows 1-65,536. I pointed that out and said the only way to fix is start a new one and not apply the formatting, or to try and remove it from all the cells. She outright refused because she liked the way it was. So I left, and she went back to looking at pictures of her cats

    It was a song I heard from a friend who was in a Music Appreciation class. The song was just counting in kind of a meditative chant and only did it in groups of 2 3 or 4, i can’t remember. and they only counted to 12 or something and then started back. so it’d be like “one two three four one two three four five six seven eight one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve one two three four”
