The 8am lecture everyone dreads / Me who has had insomnia since 2019: He's a friend from work!
A He's a Friend From Work post.
The new manager has the whole floor frightened. You worked with them years ago. You wave across the room. Nobody else waves. The football team's biggest defender comes running at you. You went to primary school together. You put your arms out. The exam is the hardest in the course. You wrote the practice paper it's based on. You are the only one smiling. The bouncer at the club is turning everyone away. It's your cousin. You're in. **Why it caught on:** in Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Thor, made to fight in the Sakaar arena, sees his opponent come out - the Hulk - and yells with joy "Yes! We know each other! He's a friend from work!" The Hulk then beats him up anyway. Chris Hemsworth's delight at a terrifying thing is how the sub greets any monster it happens to like.
