    It happens so much sadly. I remember a classmate of mine getting a 9 out of 10 on an exam and when he heard that he started stabbing himself with the pointy end of a compass because it wasn’t a 10 out of 10. Apparently the poor guy was chastised at home if he didn’t get a 9,5 at the least.





  • It’s not really a thing in English but in my native language there’s an informal and formal way to say “you”. Once I was in a store, and somebody’s kid was being a little too loud/annoying for the parents liking, and she told her to be quiet using the formal “you”. It really irked me the wrong way, like you said it was like she was talking to an employee, but it felt even worse cause I’ve never used the formal you to my actual employer and vice versa
