Bookstore Employee (BE): Let me see your schedule.

BE: You need the book?

Me: No I just need the answers book.

BE: So you don’t need the textbook.

Me: No.

He goes back to the shelf with the chemistry books.

BE: You needed the answers book?

Me: Yes.

He comes back with two books for consumer chemistry.

Me: I need the answers book for organic chemistry. These are consumer chemistry books.

Bookstore manager (BM) shows up.

BM: What’s going on here?

Me: I need the solutions manual for organic chemistry.

BE is already back at the shelf switching books. He brings back the answers manual.

Me: Do you all only have the third edition manuals? No second editions?

BM: We only have the third edition right now. If you come back next week, we might have some second editions.

Me: Okay, well I’ll just get these books for now. Thanks.


Also, my pharmacology book is longer than Les Mis. :?


Probably more entertaining too.

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered
Item description: "Prangles". Item resembles in almost every way a standard tube of Pringles, Sour Cream and Onion flavour. The only difference in appearance is that the mascot on the box has red skin and takes on a vaguely demonic look. Item was given to a Class D subject. Once the lid of the Prangles is unsealed, or "popped", the subject was literally unable to prevent herself from eating the chips continuously. Moreover, the tube appears to be bottomless in nature, as the subject has been eating for several days at time of writing and shows no sign of slowing down. No difference between the chips and normal Pringles was found. This is the second subject to be tested; the first one continued eating even after termination, and the tube had to be forcibly removed from her grasp.

That's nothing. I used to be on NS's version of 4Chan.

Oh, so every politics thread ever. In the last 3 days I’ve talked to more Neo-Nazis than I have the entire rest of my life.

Nah, it was a group I was with.

...My very first long-term social community ever.

My old nation was in a pretty cool region. Very vocally anti-fascist, for one thing. Occasionally a fascist would come in and try to screw us up, but good moderation/government and one of them being online at practically any time stopped that pretty quick.
