Because of the office layout at one of my jobs I developed exceptional skill at backhanding stuff into the trash bin diagonally behind me across the room. So when I made a home office I set it up the same way. People are always asking, “Why is your trash bin way over there?”
I can’t throw any sort of ball to save my life, but in school I could sink a crumpled up piece of paper into the trash bin across the classroom with consistency that even shocked myself. I’m also deadly with rubber bands and have a knack for paper planes and projectiles made from broken pens.
This reminds me of a job where my office buddy and I used to shoot rubber bands, paperclips, little wads of paper etc. at each other over the partition between our desks, or bank them off the wall. There was this guy Dave from another floor, who occasionally stopped in with a question for one of us, and I swear to god every time he came in was right when we were screwing around like that or laughing immediately afterwards. Every. Single. Time. Once while we were exchanging fire I even said something like, “Time for Dave to show up,” and like 2 seconds later he walked in. We both busted up laughing. Dave developed a srsly bad attitude about us because he didn’t think we ever did any work, but actually we were hella busy most of the time.
Same! I was voluntold for the class basketball team because of my height. I was too unathletic for it, however, and I only lasted one week. However, like you, I can throw paper waste from almost anywhere in the classroom and shoot it into the bin. I can also shoot a worn-out piece of chalk to its container from the middle row. I was pretty lousy with paper planes though.
The “throw trash into the bin” ability comes in clutch when I’m too lazy to stand up and put trash into the bin. That’s where I got most of my recent practice!
