- my friend kept talking about how she was getting to be a student coach cause she got higher than 4th place, while I wouldn't be able to since I got like, 14th place cause I messed up. Anyone else ever notice how "14th place isn't that bad!" doesn't make you feel any better? Really?
- Anyone ever notice how reverse psychology would be bad? (i.e. when you really mean something but people do the opposite anyways) Like, "Don't look, I'm arc welding." If you didn't know that you needed a welding helmet to look at something that darn bright and you looked then went blind...that would suck. And "Looking at arc welding without proper protection can cause blindness, so don't look cause I'm arc welding." isn't exactly the short and sweet warning you want to announce every time...of course, I don't arc weld, but oh well. I served my purpose.
And I'll just throw this random bit in since it fits with the first part:
If you say "Duck!", would people actually duck or would they look up to see what's happening? My brother says you're supposed to say "Watch out!", but won't that make people watch instead of duck? And if you say both, I can assure you someone is going to reply, "Why am I watching out for a duck?"
Of course, taking reality and common sense into account, most people would duck while watching out in either of the first two cases (the third always ends up like the other case, though...sometimes).
