So, I enjoy helping people on Yahoo!Answers. I like finding a book that someone can't remember the title and author to, I enjoy answering publishing questions, I have fun linking to useful websites, and critting is good for me as well as them.
What I don't like are kids too lazy to do their own homework. I usually just snort and pass those by, but on occasion I will be a snarky bitch.
So when someone said: Can someone write me a short story?
No more than 250 words and these are the keywords which have to be in the story
Saddled ambled distance spring froze grown ups windmilled spouting sighed ridiculous
I rolled my eyes. And then thought, hey, why not. And wrote this:
Spouting nonsense, a ridiculous teenager saddled a bunch of grown ups with his homework assignment. Staring off into the distance, they sighed and got on with it. The words ambled from their keyboards in a desultory fashion, and sometimes froze--until one of them windmilled her arms and shouted, "I just got the best idea ever!" She then declined to share it with the teenager and said, "Do your own homework, kiddo, because I'm pretty sure you're not going to spring professional rates for this."
You owe me $85.
Yep. I'm pretty sure that he's going to delete his question, because brats frequently do when they get an answer they don't like. Such is the world.
