Sara the Librarian (museoffire) Not sure if this is the right spot for this but I just found it on reddit and knew it was for us. An absolutely hilarious read and very on point!

Sara the Librarian (museoffire) I do feel the need to point out that the author left out;

-there's a sage like black person you have known all your life or just met who's messianic powers will either help you solve the world...or destroy it.

and

-one of your friends is a mentally impaired child/adult with untapped psychic powers or convenient incredible knowledge about the crazy circumstances you find yourself in.

GracieKat | 67 comments I love the 'inanimate objects. You have your reasons'.

Except for the peanut butter and onion sandwich they just described my typical evening. Does a jar of peanut butter and a spoon count?

Angelo Marcos (angelomarcos) | 5 comments "You tend to ramble and have a habit of painstakingly describing everything and everyone around you."

Haha! That list is brilliant!


Sara the Librarian (museoffire) and I'm sorry I love the man but the "you think you're life would make a great movie...but you're wrong." is heartbreakingly true (with a few exceptions).

An old acquaintance from high school you haven't heard from in decades calls you and personally invites to your 30th-year class reunion.

This actually happened to me. And I didn't go. Not because I got spooked, I just didn't like the people in my graduating class. I haven't been to any of my class reunions
