Pessimist: the cup is half empty
Teacher: how many cups are you giving me? And you want me to fill them all? But there isn't any water? The cups don't want to be filled? You want me to fill them a specific way? Wait, there are twice as many cups as you said.
Teacher: Yes, thank you for giving me a cup instead of me having to pay for it. I’ll stay another few months depending on what’s actually in it. 😂
