Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

Pencil's are very valuable things, especially if they are the ones with Hello Kitty drawn on the side.

Happened to me too! I lost my leg from borrowing her pen. I don't regret it. This Bic pen is the bomb man. It even has an eraser.

Some friend. It's just a pencil... You find more on the floor or take them from your teacher.

I meant you can find. (The reply feature sucks on the WP7 app.)

Go get yourself a supply of pencils - and while you're at it, get some new friends.

Buy an ENTIRE box of pencils that look just like the one they're upset about, and snap them all in their face one a time; in a passive aggressive voice, say "Gee....you know what's funny about those pencils.....they mean just as little as our friendship.......And I'd imagine that they break as easily as some of the bones in your body. oh well, food for thought." Then say you'll see them later, and walk away as though nothing happened.

yet another instance of "that word doesn't mean what you think it means." "Transpire" means "to breathe across." It has not nor will it ever mean "to happen." Sorry...using correct words tends to help people understand what exactly you're talking about. ;)

well, I think people understood regardless of her bad vocabulary and word choice.

One of its uses may be to "breathe across", but a quick 5-second search shows that its main uses are... 1. Occur; happen. 2. Prove to be the case: "as it transpired, he was right". She's right. I'm sorry I'm being anal about this, I just thought you should know.

Er, transpire does not and never has meant "to breathe across". The Oxford English dictionary lists the meanings of transpire as 1. come to be known; prove to be so 2. happen 3. (Botany) of a plant or leaf - give off water vapour through the stomata "To breathe across" is not even mentioned.

the dictionary begs to differ.
