Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.
“Slutantions” has me crying laughing
i once emailed my professor with a migraine. a mistake.
“I amsick will not to choir because i have a heache. i Hope its very and i am so sorry
love,
blue”
the subject line was “OW”
THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”
As someone who has taught college, please send those emails because 1) We WILL believe that; no one would write that on purpose and 2) we need a laugh sometimes.
On the other side of this, once after getting taken to the ER by ambulance, I got an email from the professor whose class I’d passed out in, and the message had no text, just the subject line “you good?”
Reblogging for the last addition
Claritin makes me weird, but I have allergies so there’s about a month and a half block of time where I’m taking Claritin and am just weird most of the time.
Anyway, my last year of college, I got the flu or something in late March and was also taking Mucinex. I told my professor I couldn’t come to class one day by email except I couldnt think of what to say, so my medicated ass decided to make a Fry meme. I think it said something like “Not sure if I can go to class with a head the size of Texas, bottom text.” I didn’t think until the next day that it probably wasn’t socially-acceptable to tell your philosophy professor you weren’t coming to class via Tumblr style memes. When i got back to class, i found that she’d printed it out and taped it to the classroom bulletin board.
Oh shit you guys i turned on my WinXP laptop that I used to use back then.
IT WAS ON THE DESKTOP. THIS IS WHAT I SENT.
It’s even worse than i remember it
I laugh myself hoarse every time this post comes around, so here it is again.
Once emailed a professor from my hospital bed high on painkillers after a really bad car crash which my heart actually stopped the email “Dead cant class sory”
wikihow is asking me to pay to find out if driving a car is scary
here i can tell you: it depends on a number of factors and is not always consistent at all times. for most people it gets less scary the more you do it, but there will be times when you are abruptly reminded that you are bound to a 2-4 thousand pound metal beast who obeys your commands due to a bunch of rods and wires and whatnot that are hopefully fully functional, and that at any given moment you could run into another person in your same situation except for whatever reason that person hates you and also their metal death beast is bigger than yours
also if you’re in america sometimes the people in the cars have weapons and will threaten you with them if they see fit. these can range from hammers to lead pipes to firearms and, given that we are assuming lias (located in america syndrome), there is a non-zero chance that the ones with firearms will use them
so yeah it’s fine so long as you never think about it ever and also so long as no one pulls out a cellphone
you ever know someone and you think “god i love you. i wish we could’ve known eachother when we were carefree and 11. i wish we could’ve played together as kids”
are u a “I can only have 4 tabs open or I will spontaneously combust” person or a “I have 83 tabs open and at least 12 of them are exactly the same” person
