Place your random thoughts.

Tbh it depends on the situation in which he gave Eldin his number. Sometimes it's easier to just accept people's numbers and never call them than it is to flat out turn them down. Also, I don't think they really owe the guy a call or anything if they don't know him very well.
 
I took AP Bio last year and have a few friends who are taking AP Stats this year. What's up?
I'm signing up for my classes next year and I can't decide what to take. I've been doing really well in math lately and I'm being directed to take AP Calc but the thought of taking that actually makes me feel ill so it's between AP Statistics and discrete math, and I really don't think I'd wanna take discrete math.

And I took CP Bio as a freshman and I loved it and it was easy for me, but if AP is gonna be way more difficult I'd rather not take it. Did you think it was hard?

Well, I don't have any personal experience with stats, so I can't really say much there. I think most people find it to be easy, though (for an AP math class lol), so you may want to take that. Definitely don't take Calc if you have any reservations about it (especially if it makes you feel sick!). I kind of wish I hadn't taken it tbh; I normally don't mind math very much and actually like it pretty well because I do well in it, but bad teachers kill it for me, and my teacher isn't the best teacher (he's a cool guy though). I'd definitely ask around and see which math classes you're considering have good teachers and which don't, if that's an important factor to you.

As for bio, I wouldn't say it was hard. I had my bio teacher for honors the year before, so I was already familiar with him and his teaching style. Some of the labs are pretty neat to do, and we got to dissect a turtle and a shark at the end of the year, so that was cool as well. Other than that, it's basically just a general biology class that goes much more in-depth about certain topics. Since you did well in your regular biology class, you'll probably do fine in AP. Just be aware that animals aren't covered a whole lot until the very end (for some reason a lot of people at my school expect it to be mainly animals, so they don't like the other stuff). A lot of it is cells before you move on to plants and then finally on to animals, but I really enjoy biology, so I liked all of it (except for the more vigorous study of plants, but it was still manageable).

Honestly, the only issue with bio is that it's a good amount of content that you have to get through for the exam, but luckily some of it's review. It's not super hands on when you compare it to AP Chem, but I think we wound up doing close to ten or so labs, so you won't be sitting in your seat listening to lectures all the time.

I hope that was helpful! Let me know if you want to know anything else.

Yeah I don't think I'd ever in a million years even wanna attempt calc, especially since I'm a lot better with trig than I am with algebra and I'm also likely moving out of state next year so I'd have no idea about the teachers (I still have to sign up for my classes here though). I just wasn't sure about stats cause not many people here seem to take it so I haven't heard much about it, but I'll trust that it's relatively easy.

Ooooh, I'll probably take bio then, I think I could handle that. That's the only science class I've ever liked, anyway, so I think I'd actually try a lot harder with that than with most of the other science classes haha.

You were super helpful, thank you so much!! :)
 
If someone you have no interest in gives you their phone number wanting to hang out, what the hell is the appropriate response?

Do you just... not call them? That seems horrible, but I really don't want to deal with this. Or do you call them for the sole reason of telling them you don't want to hang out. That also seems horrible.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT ANSWER

If you're still reading this thread for responses-- whew this is gonna be long, sorry in advance

Assuming you see the guy again: In this kind of situation, what I do is tell them I'm really uncomfortable on the phone (which is true, I'm an awkward mess and I can never get the words to come out right) and insist on skype or email communication instead. That way you're 100% in control of how much time you're giving this person, whereas with a phonecall it can be hard to find the right time to end it or an excuse to hang up... and you don't even want to call this person anyway in the first place, so avoiding it altogether seems like a good idea. And then you can slowly peter out the conversation until it's evident you're busy and don't have the time to put into this person, or something like that. And if they're pushy, you can block them and leave it at that, especially with your bar closing.

I guess it's considered more respectful to be like "whoa I'm not into you" if it's a romantic issue but 1) it's really hard to do that in the moment and 2) you don't owe that person anything. It is not a **** move to not call them. It's more of a **** move to hit on someone WHILE THEY'RE AT WORK because the customer-employee dynamic puts you in a really difficult position to begin with.

If you're never gonna see him again? Just lose his number and shake it off. :)
 
i hhhhhhhhhhhate my computer this piece of trash can't even load 1 minute clips half the damn time

Thank you, although if I do see him again and he asks about it I'm just going to tell him that I'm not looking to get involved with anyone because that is the truth of it. I don't want to keep contact with him through email or anything else, like I said I'm not interested and I don't want to lead him on or waste his time dragging it out.

And @Ghost Soda; I understand your point, but I tried to make it clear I wasn't really interested when he mentioned meeting sometime. He then gave me his number anyways when he left, so there wasn't much I could do at that point. Not taking it seemed rude, I don't know, I dislike minor confrontation like that.

In that type of situation usually I would try to excuse myself in a polite way, but I was at work so obviously I was a bit backed into a corner. It's not like I can leave, and he was the only one there.

Thanks for the replies guys.

then you gotta be more assertive about crap like this.
