Lend your extra calculator to a guy who forgot his ?

i forgot a wrist watch for L3 last year, which is pretty critical especially for the morning writing section… the test center in LA doesn’t have any clocks on the walls either. luckily the dude next to me was basically running a small Kinko’s operation with practically endless supply of pencils, pens, wrist watches, calculators, erasers, pencil sharepeners and ear plugs. he gave me a wrist wratch - thanks bro if you’re reading this
 
If you think about it, the guy who forgot his calculator is probably not prepared anyway. So you’re doing yourself a favor by lending out your calculator. Yeah…….
 
Not sure why people keep attaching the fake 2nd part of the sink story. It’s clearly fake..
 
Yeah definitely fake, but I still laughed. The actual sink story is 50/50 true IMO but still makes me laugh hard every time I read it.
 
What happens if the person who borrowed your calculator finishes the exam before you and leaves the exam center with your calculator?

I have a morning ritual that I go through before every big exam. I call it “The Terminator”. First, I crouch down in the shower in the classic “naked terminator traveling through time” pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Arnold or the guy from the second movie (not the chick in the third one because that one sucked) and I start to hum the terminator theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed to the exam as an emotionless, cyborg badass. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It ruins the fantasy.
Welcome to 2004-05 Bromion because that’s when this was originally posted.
How hard is it to spend less than ten bucks to change your batteries before the exam? It amazes me that people who invest their time in a test you take once a year have zero comprehension of risk vs return.

For the record, in case you missed it, all of us, except for Blake, are complete morons here. We suck. Let’s own up to it now and stop being pussies about it.
Let’s all get down on our knees and bow to Blakes superior Master’s degree brain. That includes you Bchadwick and your inferior PHD. What the fuck Bromion? The terminator was so 2005! Moron!

i can understand an extra battery.. but two calculator!?! NERD ALERT
Faster to switch to second calculator than change batteries.
especially when you need a screwdriver to change the batteries on one model
 
if it was the guy next to me, I’d probably lend it on condition I could get it back if my first one failed.
Someone halfway across the room ? let someone else closer lend them theirs
