Yooo this reminds me, I think there was an AITA comment on reddit some time ago about a guy who burned down a Pizza place due to putting the entire bee movie script in a message box.
Edit: I believe it was a comment on an Askreddit thread, but a quick google search appears to not be enough to find it
Ok my copier story. We had a copier room in my high school with a little window in the door. I put a black sheet of paper on it, set it to copy 999 times, locked the door from the inside, then walked away. Turns out no one knows where the key was to the little copier room. I got caught and was punished. The end.
We're not really that unique. We're not consciously or likely even unconsciously referencing that thread or others like it. We're just coming to the same witty conclusions those before us did.
Even your comment comes up every time there's a similar thread or experience. Mine too.
