how I got extra credit for being late to class

  • I left the house extra early so I could get coffee before class
  • There was a new employee working who took 20 mins to make the coffee
  • Everything in me told me to leave without the coffee even though I had paid for it.
  • Being forced to stop at every light.
  • Finally getting on campus and to my classroom.
  • Turning the knob and realizing it is locked.
  • Stare at the time, 3 minutes late, and freaking out.
  • Knock quietly on the door.
  • Someone lets me in.
  • Teacher stops class. [This is it, I’m dead]
  • Teacher asks if the door was locked; I answer “yes”.
  • He asks me to unlock the handle.
  • I become confused and try to unlock the handle, once, twice, then the third time I finally got it right.
  • The teacher enjoys my humiliating attempt and laughs at me.
  • Teacher feels guilty for laughing at me and gives me extra credit.
