One of mine (I have many yay neurodivergece) is when people say the phrase “a broken clock is right twice a day”. The phrase is actually “a stopped clock is right twice a day.” A clock that is stopped will definitely be right twice a day but a clock that is broken could be right multiple times a day or not at all depending on how it’s broken. Maybe it’s just a little slow running in which case it’ll never be right. Maybe it’s spinning wildly out of control so it’ll be right a lot but still useless.

It annoys the shit outta me and it is so dumb it definitely should not. Anyway your turn.

    My mom will ask me questions about the plot of a movie while we’re watching a movie. I just like ??? We’re watching the same thing you know just as much as I do?

      Fuck. I hate that.

      I remember my high school sweetheart would kill me with that shit. I remember times like when she would ask me, as soon as someone would come on screen, “Who is that?!” And I would ignore her and then the character would immediately introduce themselves and she’d go, “Oh.” Wouldn’t even matter if I never saw the movie before either, she’d still constantly ask me questions. I would roll my eyes so hard. Haha
