Hahaha oh man, I remember reading that story in Hitchhikers Guide, I can't believe that really happened to him. God that's so painfully awkward and even more painfully British.
What do you mean it's not an English word? It's used in English-speaking countries by English speakers isn't it? Next are you gonna say that "ski" is also not an English word?

Imagine how absolutely baffled the builder must've been at the unintentional power play. Reminds me of this classic snippet from Douglas Adams.

I would have snapped and then made an ass of myself, which tends to be the usual.

The last line really brings it home. It's like if an episode of Curb did a post credits sequence.

I'd completely forgotten about that amazing classic. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Her book is wonderful. If you have someone neurodiverse in your life, I can't recommend it enough.
Yes, it was funny. But so insightful, too.

“Our builder” means… they’re having their house remodeled?

Of course. Who wants to lift things themselves, when you can have a peasant do it?
Cocoa6790@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y
