Not exactly the example I would use, but...

I edited this slightly for readability.

scottley: fuck i don't want to go to class today. hot in the class room.
...
scottley: there's an OCD/autistic kid in there.
scottley: i took his seat last week
scottley: on accident
scottley: he wasn't angry or anything
me: yeah but he needs his spot
scottley: he just walked back and forth in front of my desk 3 or 4 times
scottley: "oh wow! wow. i guess today i'll sit on this side. oh man. yeah, i'll sit over here. wow. oh wow. way to the left today. okay. okay. i'll sit over here."
scottley: he wanders the computer science department talking to himself
scottley: leans way over to kids sitting on their lap top to see what they're doing on the computer in the hallways
scottley: The other day, professor was talking about algorithms, how different processors in a distributed computing system communicate, send messages
scottley: in one algorithm, a message is sent by a processor to another saying essentially "OK, i've received your messages, stop sending them because i don't want connection with you anymore, i'm using this other processor"
scottley: and the kid YELLS out: "HAHA LIKE ON FACEBOOK WHEN YOU SEND SOMEONE TOO MANY MESSAGES AND THEN THEY BLOCK YOU BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU ANYMORE."
me: hahaaaaaaaaaaa
