    I have a vivid memory when I was in first grade and asked my teacher if I can use the bathroom, and I got his bullshit response. I was a first grader, so I sat my ass back down and held it. Fuck this horse shit mentality.

    Fine, if you’re an adult, it’s juvenile, but at that point people should understand the difference. Doesn’t mean I won’t lambast a MFer for being a pedantic prick though.

      As an adult I’m asking nobody if I “may” use the bathroom. I might ask, “can I use YOUR bathroom” (notably not “may”) or say “can you point me to the bathroom” because I am a human being with a right to access these facilities (Americans need not apply).

      Teachers who feel the need to get one over on a child are pieces of shit. It teaches nobody anything except “adults are awful”. Be nice to kids, you can fuck them up with something you don’t think twice about.

        Too many to count, but I learned this lesson. I just struggled with nuance in gramer as a fucking 1st grader.
