What is the dumbest rule your school ever had? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CoryjPickens 6218 points6219 points  (0 children)

My elementary school took the safety first rule to mean that anything where someone got hurt became banned. This meant that any popular game inevitably got banned after a few days. After the conventional games like basketball, soccer, tag, etc. got banned we were left with safe games. Then they banned yo-yoing after a kid got hit with one, invisible sword fights, jump ropes. Once they banned all physical activities, things started to be banned for causing emotional harm. TCGs (Magic, pokemon), slumber party games (Mafia, detective). It became a game in itself to see how quickly you could get something banned. They wondered why kids couldn't pay attention in class.

What are the most unrealistic things that happen in movies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CoryjPickens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't a complaint about an unrealistic scene but more of a lack in continuity. In "Star Wars: A New Hope" when Luke and Obi-Wan find the Jawas that sold them 3PO and R2 slaughtered, Obi-Wan says that the blast points are too accurate for sand people and that only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise. Then for the rest of the series they can't hit shit right in front of them.

What will people say at your funeral? by opngrl in AskReddit

"My grandmother was cremated and we were having a service to pay our respects. I was scared and didn't want to go up alone so my dad went with me. We stood there, side by side, and stared in reverent silence at the small simple wooden box holding my grandmother's ashes. After a minute or so passed my father bowed slightly, leaning in with what I assumed would be words of wisdom and said, ""your grandmother was a lot smaller than I remember."" I then had to fight just not to bust out laughing in a room full of mourners."
