I actually went to library when I was in elementary school and exhausted my choices from the list I was given so I wanting a big challenging book. I picked pride and prejudice. The librarian tried so so hard to tell me that I won't like it and I should pick out another. But all I'm thinking is who is this old woman telling me what I'll like or not like, how dare she. I'll show her. I convinced her to let me check it out and read it. I was ridiculously bored the entire time and did my best to speed read it. You know that reading where if you catch yourself doing it you have to reread the page because you realize you didn't grasp any of it? Well, basically I have absolutely no idea what it's about today, given it was also 14 years ago, and I just wanted 3-4 days of my time when I could be doing kid shit like throwing mud at walls and making it stick. I regret not taking that old ladies advice, and I still wouldn't admit that if I saw her cause I'm still hard headed as ever, maybe worse now.

God, how I know that feeling... When I was 14, I decided I would read Anna Karenina. I know 14 isn't really that young and that I was probably old enough to enjoy it and comprehend it in depth, but I basically forced myself to finish it. I'm rereading it now and there was so much I missed, so much to learn from it that I completely missed. What a waste.

They will fuck you up with that purse.

A mentally ill gunman took the school board hostage in my hometown a few years ago. One of the board members, a little old lady, snuck up behind him and tried to beat him with her purse. It happens a little after the minute mark.

It didn't work, but it was still bad ass of her trying.

The whole thing was really interesting to watch

The the superintendent tried to defuse the situation, then get him to release all the other hostages and just keep him, he instead fires on the superintendent (the bullet luckily hits the desk and just barely misses him), and the guy in charge of setting up school security for the district was a retired police officer. He ran to his car, got his gun, and shot the gunman before he could kill anyone. The gunman went down and blew his brains out before the actual cops got there

There was a guy in the gym today reading his bible out loud and walking around waving his free arm. He sort of yelled at the end before he lifted. He was just an average size guy. I wanted a picture badly, but that's creepy IMO.

Maybe it's not violent, but it's not peaceful.

Why is everyone so convinced that this is made up? This totally rung true for me.

If you live in a city with prep schools and magnet schools, you'll see kids reading on the bus & subway.

And creepy old dudes say weird assed shit to teenage girls on public transportation.

Of course they read stuff in bus and subway. But nobody would start saying shit like that old man said.

Whoever pathetic fuck made this story up just wanted everyone to know that she reads some classic books and is not like every other female (every other female ever)

xtr0n ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 20:49:57 on January 21, 2015 ยท (Permalink)

Try asking women who've lived in a decent sized city if creepy old men say ridiculous shit like that. You'd be surprised at how stupid and gross some of the comments can get. As someone who lived it from ages 12 through about 28, this story seems very plausible.

I guess the old man coming up with Jane Eyre is unlikely, but educated people can become gross alcoholics too.

She'd have to be fairly young. Engaging that much is an amateur move. Clearly she needs to work on her resting bitch face.

Also, isn't Pride & Prejudice one of the most popular novels ever? It seems like a pretty light read, even for a highschooler. If you're gonna do an intellectual humblebrag, name drop Dostoevsky or something.

She is, its a terrible curse, actually. The poor girl is in the last year of her post-grad education right now, sitting in a dimly lit apartment.

She's got a file open on her computer labeled "My Thesis". The first 10 pages or so are solid, they establish the core foundation of what she aims to prove through her research into old men who don't read good. But on page eleven all that's written is "fuck yeah! you go granny!". Just that and empty white space beneath it. That is, until you get to page twelve, where it suddenly transforms into a nightmare from the pages of The Shining. fuck yeah! you go granny! fuck yeah! you go granny! over and over and over again, occasional typos hinting that this isn't just an easy sequence of repeated copy and pastes...each line has been meticulously typed out by her worn and calloused fingers. And it goes on. For 186 pages, nothing but fuck yeah! you go granny!

She sits in her desk chair, cheeks stained with mascara and tears as her fingers finally give way to cramps and carpal tunnel. the cursor blinks after an unfinished line of "fuck yeah! yo" She stares at that blinking cursor for hours until suddenly someone knocks on her door.

With excruciating pain coursing through her wrists, she rises from her desk and walks slowly, steadily to her front door and answers the incessent knocking. Before her stands a horde of naked old men, holding up burning pages of Jane Austen's works, dancing and laughing in their pagan ritual. She opens her mouth to scream, but all that comes out is: fuck yeah! you go granny!

All the people in posts like these seem to think that just by physically being able to read books they're somehow smart as fuck. It doesn't seem to matter whether they were even able to take anything away from the experience, just the fact that it says "Pride and Prejudice" on the front means they're better than everyone else.

Bullshit. No one reads Jane Eyre.

Are you kidding me? Jane Austen is one of my favorite characters. I should know because I've been teaching Comparative English Literature at Yale for 20 years.

People tend to assume you're reading smut if you're masturbating in public with a book in your hand.

I've read every book written by Dorian Gray! The one about his hunting expeditions was my favorite followed by his documentary on the history of 'tea time'.

Did not happen, only happened in OP's daydream after the ride home.

Oh come on, OP. Please refrain from posting such OBVIOUS fake stories on here. Just read the title of the subreddit.

You can tell this is a story that never happened because Albert Einstein didn't show up to LITERALLY clap with the entire bus and give the poor girl $100.

When somebody talks to you on the bus, and you do not know that person, say nothing back to them. They might mutter stuff, but they will hopefully move after the next stop (providing that nobody else gets on).

Jesus. It the old person had thought that Jane Eyre was the author, they should have thought that the book was called Charlotte Bronte.

Creator fails at making up story. Thanks OP, for this slice of stupidity and failure.

You can tell she's reading Jane Austen because the dialogue sounds like it's from the 18th century.

There's always somebody old. They're either a wisecracking hero or a randomly impolite old person who hates the young folk.

Someone once tried to hit on/pick me up while I was reading on the bus. Asked if I was reading Fifty Shades of Grey. Nope - I was reading The Picture of Dorian Gray. He tried getting my name, my number, where I was going, completely stopping me from even reading; until, this one fellow spoke up loudly, saying, "man, I'm pretty positive she's not interested. Just leave her alone."
