We Applaud Your Patience
(I’m part of a group project on communication. I end up doing the majority of the work, but when it comes to the filming portion of the project, I decide to work the camera. [Partner #1] is speaking and [Partner #2] is acting as the audience. Her only job is to applaud after [Partner #1] finishes the speech.)
Partner #1: *finishes speech*
Partner #2: *does nothing*
Partner #1: “What do you need her to do?”
Me: “Applaud.”
Partner #2: *stands up*
Partner #1: “Yeah, [Partner #1], just sit down and applaud.”
Partner #2: *sits back down and stares at [Partner #1] onstage*
Me: “Like… clap your hands.”
Partner #2: *finally claps*
(I was very glad when that project was over.)
