    Fun fact: I had a cousin in the second tower on 9/11. They told everyone in his office to remain calm and he was just like “nope” and got the fuck out

      It’s rather important to remain calm in emergencies.

      Particularly when noping the fuck out- I’m glad your cousin made it out.

        I think they made the “nope” decision as a group (or at least his team). I was young when it happened and honestly haven’t brought it up with him since. I figure it’s kind of a traumatic thing to just bring up at a family gathering.

          Obviously it’s not “too soon” for a 9/11 joke, but what made you think this was appropriate to say to someone who has one degree of separation from this tragedy?
