holy shit these are the same thousands of complete nothing stories every single time, posted as if they were some profound insights.

“I was in first period. Then, the teacher said our nation was under attack. Then I learned that planes hit the World Trade Center. Then I went home.”

Or, the West Coast version:

“I woke up and turned on the TV. The second plane had already hit. I watched the events unfold on the TV.”

jfc at this point I am convinced Americans are pathological narcissists

    The only time I’ve seen this question get pulled out is when bartenders I’ve worked with got suspicious (out of state, fake, ect.) IDs. Don’t wanna just turn people away for no reason, so they always ask “Where were you during 9/11?”. I told the bartender I was probably in pre school shitting myself and got the beer. She told me that anybody who looks as young as me that doesn’t answer similarly is lying about their age.
