When you're sad that you didn't find out about this place before going to Paris. I must've walked right past it as well! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When you've learnt how to read Korean and Greek, but don't know a word of either language.

When I change my YouTube language settings to Finnish only to find that I am still bombarded with English advertisements before almost every video I watch! Oh well, I can turn down the volume.

When your (housemate's) pet python leaps out of its cage and sinks its fangs into your
finger. It's wrapped so tightly around your arm that the fire department has to pry it off. In the waiting room of the ER, you finish a book for the Super Challenge. 17 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When learning about this place totally and completely wrecks your life. Ruins it. Gone. Over. Wait: Check out AirFrance bargains: if the books cannot come to me, I must go to the books! Yes, I know you said they ship overseas, but I'd rather ship myself overseas to see the place. But I can't, no, so I suppose that's it's all done and finished now. OK, that's maybe a bit extreme, but maybe it's time to seek professional help. And by that of course you know I mean professional help acquiring more books! But I have no place to put any more books. Despair. 6 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Two posts in a row, only because I have the say that I just saw this and it may be the most bizarre, and the greatest, Language Nerd post of all time. True dedication! 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

@meramarina: Haha, only seemed logical! This all happened right after work, so I still had my backpack on and it
ended up going with me all the way. It was a definite comfort to have those materials with me. @montmorency: I'm very glad my experience can amuse. :-) @all: For any curious, this was a picture I took after calling 911.
