Hopefully you weren’t wearing a white shirt, if you know what I mean

Reply to TIFU trying to make candied oranges by MelonLord2
Am I tho only one who read the title quickly and saw “trying to make candied orgies”?

Unless you already know she's autistic and non-verbal or something like that, there is something wrong with that girl that is not your fault at all. Anyone else would just laugh about it and not take it personally or think it was intentional at all in the first place.

Well, there is another thing you need money to fix. I believe safety showers are now supposed to be supplied with tepid water, so people will stay under them as long as needed and/or not get hypothermia.

I just scrubbed some oranges, and now need to slice them, in prep for boiling, then sugaring. Amusing to hear your story, and I’m going to be careful! Thanks for the warning.

Anyone else read that as organs? Just me? Okay...

Porn being a boundary is a HUGE red flag imo. Glad he's away from you now.

Absolutely. Completely right. And usually I won’t be standing under them!

That's why we check them monthly- to ensure that the stuff that comes out is water, and not, say, a liquid form of black mold fungus.

"Doesn't particularly hate me"
That relationship would likely go nowhere, if she cried at a joke after saying that line. I'd honestly take that as a mild rejection and move on, I wouldn't expect anything from someone after such a vague and disinterested reply.

Actually that's not a bad idea, I should embrace the comedy of it because I have no idea how else to get over the embarrassment.

Seems about right…. Suffice to say I was fairly drenched !
PanamaMoe t1_jdon15k wrote
Next time you see her and if you try the thing crack a joke about it not being sweaty this time; life is awkward until you start laughing at it after that point it's funny

> And this isn’t a trickle
This is a massive understatement. My lab's safety showers will fill up a five gallon bucket in ten seconds.
Mine are activated will a pull handle, which opens a valve in the ceiling. The first time my assistant and I did a safety check, I held the bucket while she pulled the handle. A few seconds later, I realized I'd made a critical error by not explaining how to close the valve before having her open it.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Some of the comments are probably from neurotypical people who don’t understand how autism/ADHD can cause someone to get attached to something that seems trivial. I’m over it now of course, I just needed to ,you know, actually process things.

How about some respect for this neurodivergent guy, whose having a hard time? To the aOP, moderation isn’t for everyone. It doesn’t mean that you were cocky or bad. You just missed a few nuances on a few posts. No doubt you will find another group in which to moderate. Best of luck dude, you’ve got this!

Reply to TIFU by failing my vulnerable student by [deleted]
Well, at least now you knows that "scolding" a student for showing the scars and bruises caused by abuse is an unfortunate way to deal with this situation. I hope you can sleep better at night knowing that next time u will do better and use your teaching powers to protect and support ur students. After all, we don't want South Korea to start calling it "The Land of Inadequately Trained English Teachers," do we?

oh, that wasn't your fault. well, actually it was, but it wasn't your intention. sometimes we think too much while other people don't think so much and simply judge what we do (in this case your friend), just let it go and try to forget about it. shit happens.. it was just a funny story that you will laugh in the future

Literally. I will probably stop giving her any candy for a while, until I get over it at least.
