imagine being able to read lips and reading the lips of someone who’s lip-sinking a song, except they don’t know the lyrics at all so they’re just mouthing bullshit and hoping to get by w/o anyone noticing, but you do. you notice. you know
i think about this a lot
as someone who can read lips, it’s actually really annoying
#i imagine this is the equivalent of knowing morse code and hearing random things at a tapdancing class – @saisai-chan
when Mom was in language school, there was a dude that knew/was learning morse code, and of course all the students decided that meant they had to mess w him (bc they were students and needed to have fun in class?)
everytime this dude started nodding off and half-sleeping someone would start tapping their pencil on their desk and pretty soon the dude would snap up and call out a random word like “Tree!”
and then realize what’s going on, and get super annoyed at everyone
My middle school history teacher stopped teaching Morse code because kids were using it to cheat on tests by blinking answers to each other.
excellent, excellent post, terrific contributions, all of you
my Grandfather knows Morse code, and when he was teaching had 2 kids cheat on a test by tapping pencils to send answers to each other. When they handed their papers in he tapped “you have both failed” at them without looking up from his newspaper.
this is some shit those Stranger Things children would do
