semi-related tale. when i was in college, there was a snow storm and a bachelor party in the same week… so I missed 2 of 2 classes before the friday quiz. the class was hard already and i wanted to at least show that i cared about the course. so, I showed up to the quiz anyway. i ended up spending 40 mins or so writing about how the rhythmic hip thursts of some historical science person had changed my entire life and the landscape of modern dance. i had zero clue what the quiz was on and deserved to fail. i got a 50 % on the quiz and the professor thanked me, but asked that i never do that again. that was a fucking win over a zero. sometimes people just need a good laugh.
It is failing, but one 50% quiz is better than a 0% quiz when added into your overall grade. Plus OP showing up to class at least shows to the professor that they’re trying and might bump their grade up a bit at the end of the term.
Yeah this is what I think too. In Australia you can get some traffic fines withdrawn when it’s a first offence if you write in and appeal it. Police don’t care what the reason is other than you put the effort in to write in.
I’m pretty sure this never actually happened; you can see the bottom part of what I think is the original text peeking out from under the whitespace in the top third of the image.
If it did happen, somebody lemme know because that would be FUNNY.
My guess is that they received an email with some preamble to the important bit. They only screenshotted the important part, but part of the rest of the email was included.
So let me clarify something before I get to the rest of my comment…I LOVE a lot of cheap, technically shitty quality foods. Fast food burger and fries?? I’m there. Microwaved food at chain restaurants? Loving it. And I fucking love eating the free bread at restaurants.
But I just do NOT understand the hype for Olive Garden bread sticks. They look and taste EXACTLY like a particular kind of cheese stuffed bread sticks (minus the stuffed cheese) that were mass produced and sold in public schools all throughout my childhood. They were tolerable but not great. When I first went to an Olive Garden I was transported back into grade school with the exact smell, look, and taste.
I just don’t get it. Even shit-tier places like Little Caesars do bread sticks better.
I would do borderline illegal things for some fucking Cra-z-bread.
And while I understand where you’re coming from about Olive Garden’s sticks, I frankly don’t care. Those be some tasty mass produced bread product sticks, especially when dipped in their chicken & gnocchi soup. But I get it. The hype is too much for them to live up to. They were probably REALLY good about 20 or so years ago. Enshitification to cut costs.
But today, I don’t care, I have a very unhealthy relationship with bread and will shove them in my face whenever I get the chance.
I really am a slut for bread tbh. I even dig those $2 loaves from the Walmart bakery.
I think the problem for me is that since the taste is identical, Olive Garden bread sticks have such a strong association with school cafeteria food for me. If I never had those breadstick things all the time at school growing up I might have a different take on Olive Garden’s breadsticks.
