The speakerphone paradox

The speakerphone paradox

I was at the pool today when a woman started having a conversation on her phone using the speaker.

I politely asked her if she could not use the speaker and pointed to my headphones.
She said, “I don’t have headphones.”
So I said, “You can just hold the phone next to your ear.”

She looked at me with a completely blank expression and said, “I’m on speakerphone.”
I said, “Well… that’s the problem.”

Apparently, we had reached the limits of modern technology.

I took my malaria pill and gave it to my wife so she could take hers. I am rethinking everything I thought I knew about her.

My wife and I are in Africa and taking our malaria pills every day. This morning I took mine first. It’s the one on the corner of the pack. I gave it to my wife and she took hers and handed it back. I have no words.
I am now rethinking everything I think I know about her.

Took a pottery class. Studio insisted on glazing themselves. This is how my work turned out.

Took a pottery class. Studio insisted on glazing themselves. This is how my work turned out.

Yes, I know it looks like…

To clarify - the studio policy denies students to glaze their own work. It’s not the norm so I have no clue why. Don’t even get me started on the fact that they made the whole class vote on ONE glaze color for everyone’s work

This cost me $225.

They didn’t say anything to me when I went to pick my pieces up. They were just sitting in a box with everyone else’s

UPDATE: these comments helped me feel less like a Karen so I just emailed them asking what happened and how they can make it right. Will keep y’all posted if they respond!

I don’t want to tank their small business so I’m not posting any bad reviews on Google/yelp/etc
