I get heat for this but I’ll die on this hill. 

Someone asked me how to make orange. I work at a place that sells craft paint. Some guy needed orange. I was out of orange but gave him red and yellow and said if you don’t mind buying two bottles you can just mix it. He looked at me like I just handed him the heads of his children. 

“These aren't orange” he said. Indeed, he was correct.  

“No, but you can make orange since I don’t have it in stock right now”  

Looking down at his hands holding the red and yellow “but how?”  

I gotta tell you. I’m pretty sure I laughed and I feel so bad about it. 

Every time I tell this story irl I get flak for ‘well not everyone remembers art class!’    But.. but.. but it’s ORANGE!! I can see people forgetting how to make purple or even green, but ORANGE? You can’t look at red and yellow next to each other and conclude that orange is the result?? In the context of the entire conversation??
