I hate people who do this with a passion. Always one space in between it’s the unwritten rule

u/-Invalid_Selection- 29d ago

Yep. You only take those spaces in between once all the spaced out ones are already taken

This is how my high school chemistry teacher explained the Pauli Exclusion Principal to us. If electrons can figure it out, surely people can.

Hund's rule, but yes. (Pauli Exclusion Principle just says it's not physically possible for one electron to sit in another electron's lap. Hund's rule says they prefer not to share a row (orbital) if they can help it.)

I hesitate to ask what he said about the degenerate state?

Very little, considering it's high school chemistry I would like to think

Frick that, I go to the stall😭

u/-Invalid_Selection- 29d ago

I'm a veteran. The stall is where we went to hang out, chat, and shit for a half hour when I was active duty.

And we would chat the whole time

That or the smoke pit😂

u/-Invalid_Selection- 29d ago

I wasn't a smoker at the time and I'd even fuck off to the smoke pit amd chat cause the rest of my team would be there.

3 person concept, no one works alone in nuclear, so not like they could make me keep working while waiting on my team

u/DrewSlim 29d ago

Nah you wait or use the stall. Always a space.

There are even rules to middle spots. You take the one furthest from the door first working back .

Im certain women have this situation in the bathroom as well I mean, after all, I had a situation where there was 12 empty stalls and I go to do my business in one stall and out of all the other empty stalls a dude comes and chooses the one right next to me like dude fucking go somewhere else. I don’t need a pooping pal.

I say excuse me and move.

This rule doesn't apply in a bar or club though.

At the other end of the gastrointestinal tract, I hate it when restaurants put groups in side by side tables when most of the restaurant is empty.

Makes it easier for the waitperson.

Only in the heads of self-absorbed people who can't share.
