concept: the year is 2034. i walk into work with coffee in hand. coworker is wearing cool shoelaces and i compliment them absentmindedly. they look me dead in the eye and say, “thanks, i stole them from the president.” scalding coffee leaks out of every one of my orifices and i hide in the bathroom convulsing for the rest of the day
@elphabaforpresidentofgallifrey can you explain this i don’t understand
it’s this legendary horror post
it is physically painful to remember that people have continued to join tumblr since 2012 and that there are people–perhaps people reading this! right now!!!–who don’t have the foggiest memory of this fucking post. this post haunted me, do you understand, i saw and heard this code used in REAL FUCKING LIFE, I CANT FKJCLNG HANDLE THIS
okay but this unententionally happened at work. One of my coworkers has the same kind of shoes i have. same brand, style and colour. the only difference is the colour of the shoe laces. So i jokingly said “i like your shoelaces” pointing out that we have similar shoes and he legitimately said “i stole them from the president” i had to save face by pretending to not know what tumblr was and change the subject to politics.
