    It’s interesting how embarrassment works. The cashier doesn’t actually care, and will probably not remember you even in the case that you meet again later.

    There’s literally no reason not to do what you want to do, yet you can’t help but feel embarrassed and then do something that you wouldn’t do otherwise.

    I once had to “explain the gap in my CV” when applying for a loan. And apparently, “I didn’t feel like working for those 6 months,” wasn’t a good enough explanation. Even though I think literally everybody personally understands the concept.

    I ended up saying that I spent the time taking care of my parents, since I did spend some of that time taking care of them.



  • One important skill for school is to look at the entire question so that you can understand what the teacher is asking for, even if they don’t format the question exactly right.

    In this case, your answer would not fit into the 6 spaces provided for the answer.

    So you have to ask yourself what they meant by “Write the following words”. Since “the” is the same word repeated twice, once you’ve written “the” after 5, then I could argue that “the” has already been written.

    Therefore, if there are only six blanks for the answer, looking at the entire question, I argue that the answer I provided is most likely correct.
