I have interrupted multiple classes to ask and have not found one adult who thinks asking is normal

 

What kind of classes do you teach?

 

I asked every class that I could interrupt on the third floor of my building. I teach in a high school.

 

You didn't... really do this, right?

Also, wouldn't that only involve a handful of adults?

 

7 adults and about 120 kids

 

All three of my teacher neighbors agreed with me.

 

Weird. I dunno what you're hoping to achieve, but all this tells me is that wherever you live is very weirdly particular about their food.

But fine, when I get back to work on Tuesday, I'm game to ask people what they think.

You do know I only mean cutting off a piece and not directly biting the food, right? Just want to make sure we're really on the same page.

 

yes, I went through all hypotheticals. The kids did not think it was weird when I first posited the question, but getting into specifics about cutting food from a plate or a piece of pizza made them change their minds. The most leeway was given for the "lemmie get a fry" situation, which I've already said is okay because you are basically acknowledging being rude while doing it.

 

I mean, saying it like that, "lemme get a fry" sounds kind of rude. "May I have one of your fries" is better.

I'm doubly curious now why the specifics changed their mind. There's no difference in the end. Food is food. A piece of food is still a piece of food no matter what kind of food it is.

 

The informality of "lemmie get a fry" allows for the rude action to occur. "May I have one of your fries" is wild because you are speaking in an overly polite way while being rude. That'd be like saying "Perhaps I might interest you in a wedgie, sir?"

 

My next door neighbor used the fry example because her husband will never order fries and then ask for a few of hers.

 

This is in bad faith though because you already operate from the concept that it's rude no matter what, whereas I'm not, so for me, it is possible to be impolite about asking.

 

I’ve been following this nonsense for what feels like weeks now, you guys are wild for this one

 

Where do you live, anyway, @OhTheWater? If I may ask.

 

Listen, this was over and then Juror brought it back.

 

I'd like to say that I think all TV shows, regardless of genre/style should be 45 minutes long. To the exact second.

 

I just really want this conversation to change

 

This is a good take

 

45 minutes is too long for comedy shows.

 

Comedy movies should be no longer than 90 minutes.

 

You're one of those freaks who hates laughing, aren't you?

 

One more thing, cause I was Googling to see if the wider internet had a take, and some goobers are asking the right way to ask for a bite off a stranger's plate. That's too spicy for me, no thank you.

 

I am constantly in amazement how you take statements and reach as far as any person can.
