Yeah, those hostel Indians are the worst...

Ahhh....
....so, you've the experience of staying in hostels to be able to definitively say that they are?
You're takin' me for a ride to Jersey? Cool, I haven't been there in a while!
Well, it worked in rehearsal....
Never say never!!!
This is a true story.
As a child went to visit my Dad (a former machinst) for the normal weekend, long time ago.
There on his coffee table he had a cloth of some sort, and a micrometer!
Dad: "Come here and sit down, I want to teach you how to read this micrometer!"
10 year old me: "Dad, I dont want to learn how to read that micrometer, I am NEVER going to need to know that in my life!"
9th grade me: Shop class
10th grade me: Metal shop class 1 and 2, mechanical drawing
11th grade me: Machine trades program at the local vocational school (I own two micrometers now), Dad passed away in the fall that year.
12th grade me: Machine trades program at the local vocational school, early placement, 2nd half of school year start working in shop as a tool and die apprentice, have Dad's micrometers now.
After graduation, apprenticeship, more micrometers!
I told me Dad I would NEVER need to know how to read a micrometer, and now have a bunch of them and all kinds of precision tools, and reading them is second nature.
I never had a chance to laugh with him about that, but I like telling this story of NEVER say NEVER!
