As someone who's been hearing impaired my whole life, yes. The urge to punch the person in the face right at that moment sometimes seems irresistible.

It's a toss-up between Elon Musk and people saying "WHAT?!" when I tell them I'm hearing impaired.
Damnmit. I asked that kid to clean off this coffee table and now there's a pepper grinder, a bag of terrible candy, three remote controls, and some crushed fortune cookies, all under my back.
Of course you're an engineer. I could tell you didn't have to take gen ed courses from the punctuation mistake.

Your wife sounds like mine. I value transparency and openness fundamentally, but after a decade of "no" to almost everything, I've learned that if I just do stuff without asking, she frequently says, "Oh, that's a nice idea." If I ask, however, it's "not a good idea," "not now," "we don't need that," etc.
Not that strange, but certainly fucking annoying: at universities it's becoming more common to have "closed searches" for upper administrators like presidents, provosts, deans, etc. This is very much a labor/management thing, and historically (in the US) public universities have had open searches, where faculty and staff get to meet candidates, ask them questions, etc. Upper admins have taken over all decision making power in recent decades, but in the past few years they've even started preventing faculty/staff from even knowing who is applying to be their new uni president. Under pressure to do something about "the consent of the governed," admins have "allowed" some faculty and staff to view interviews and things, but are forced to sign NDAs to do so.
At public universities, using taxpayer money, promising large amounts of taxpayer money to some person. It's stupid and annoying.
Those three people already know each other, so...
No, Yemen declared war on Israel. It's war, so it's cool.
Ah, yes, the guy famous for never being wrong in predicting big things.
Professor here: do this all you want. It's not a page requirement, it's a word requirement. And it's a maximum, not a minimum. You have some tasks to accomplish in 1,000 words or less. Anything more than 1,000 words gets deleted or (if in hardcopy) crossed out/torn off and thrown away. I grade what's left.
