Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“The girl at the nail salon is autistic. My appointment’s at 4 and she said ‘see ya at 16 o’clock.'” Crossing out military future.

to be fair, what kind of nail salon goes by military time?
I’m on board with you here.
The stylist used the European 24 hour clock system not military time. So technically it’s their future European trip that’s crossed out. Gotta brush up on your facts there Charlie:)
Taylor, thanks for the clarification. Now I can totally see how using a Eurpean 24 hour clock system is completely different from using military time.
Melissa, I agree there’s not much difference between the two and I wasn’t trying to be what your sarcasm states.I was just pointing out that it’s understandable and funny how the lady’s probably European and just hasn’t shaken off using that time system rather than using military time for some odd reason. Although the military is something the GAM should stay out of completely,as well as foreign countries.
Lol, I was like…yeah I was taught that in school at 6 years old WTH.
what on earth does telling time have to do with autism?!
I kinda wondered that too…
I believe they got Autism and Dyslexia confused…
Though I admit that doesn’t make much more sense, but this is GAM we are talking about…
They know what the word autistic means, and even know how to use it in a sentence?
Probably not, because it seems they find autistic synonymous with retard. Which is completely untrue.
Do YOU know what autistic means?
Is this Kase, aka Titty?
you should have already crossed out military future bud. no one in their right mind would give those two weapons
Agreed…unless they were used as forms of torture. They seem to do a pretty good job of torturing Charlie.
we know he likes it.;)
Pinch punch, First day of the month, and no returns…HA!
I swear, these girls must shout instead of speak.
Charlie, what are you getting the girls for Christmas? Or is it Hannukah.
I vote he give them a digital clock with the display set on military time. *grin*
BA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! XD
They would say 16 hundred hours not 16 o clock but still…
Unless the girl at the nail salon was from a country that uses the 24 hour clock. Then they could say 16 o clock. Because it would be an attempt to translate the method you know for telling time into the US standard for saying times.
You guys are both right. I remember having to learn how to use the 24 hour clock to tell time in German class, which adds to why I’m glad I’m done with high school.
Just subtract 12…
It was easy to learn it, but unfortunately our teacher thought it was a good idea to do tons of assignments and tests involving conversations about what time it is for whatever in German, so you can imagine that class got to be pretty annoying and boring at times.
they probably meant dyslexic, not autistic
Must resist urge to tell racist joke about North Koreans…
This is not funny at all.
I beg to differ. And you can’t disagree…respect the dead.
Fred dies? Are you kidding me? Why do I even bother…
You Melissa, have obviously not read the books.
I’m wondering if you’ve developed any kind of involuntary twitch after listening to the dvd menu for “27 Dresses”.
Sarah, that litteraly just made me lol.
Whenever I see a new dress, my head jerks violently to the left.
To the left, to the left…. :/ We’re here for you, Charlie.
Wow. This girls just keep getting smarter and smarter
My deepest sympathies for having to live within hearing distance of these two.. Although it would be quite amusing to listen to their “drama’s”
I do agree Sirius.
Happy Hanukkah!
Did anyone consider that maybe the woman was just being jokey? Jeez. No need for a big debate about military time…
Of all the things they say, you can isolate each one and dismiss their shortcomings. However, by perusing through the page history, the truth outs.
I slightly want to slap these two girls for lacking any sort of intelligence. I must say, their stupidity keeps me entertained though. :]
Do Americans not use the 24 hour clock?
Louisa, the only people who really actually use 24 hour clocks in the U.S. are in the military. Otherwise, the average American clock is only 12 hours. I’m just curious, what country do you live in?
England, we use both 12 hour and 24 hour though, both methods are used fairly interchangeably. Though official things are more in 24 hour, like my lecture timetables and train tickets.
I teach English in France and let me tell you that it’s very complicated for my students to understand the 12 hour clock system! Even more when they have to say the time using the British way!
Is that what autistic means?
1001awfulthings.com
Autism is a neurological disorder in which understanding social aspects is hard while intelligence levels are higher than average. Some never learn social aspects, but will be geniuses while others learn social aspects quickly, but not have intelligence as high as more severe cases. It all depends on the severity. There are other factors too, but that’s the basis. Sorry if it’s too confusing, but Autism is kind of hard to explain.
I was confused before I realized you don’t use the 24-hour clock system in America. I feel a bit stupid.
You guys are mean, if she is autistic, then don’t make fun of her! Yes, it is the 24 hour clock so why is that funny, she got it right.
