I think people focus on the “Foreman stabbing Cameron with deadly painful mystery disease”, but tbh if there’s a time to act crazy and in your own self interest, that’s it. I think people neglect this scene which imo is peak Foreman lunacy. Like, to anyone in the workplace, this is just fucking nuts. Babygirl, you’re in the “weird about your colleagues show”. But even if you weren’t this is a shit take.
First of all, I REFUSE to believe any of these fellows have friends. Second of all, Foreman, you have had to move every four years since you were 18, who tf passes this criteria. Third, who says this to a coworker. Just torpedo a working relationship #justgirlythings.  What is wrong with you. You could’ve LIED. You could’ve said IM NOT SORRY. Instead, you go we were never friends in a high-school-mean-girl fashion. You’re an adult professional. More rambling under the cut
A) I am sorry, tf is Foreman's friendship criteria. He projects a decade in the future??? Ten years? Foreman mentally tallying that they'll probably lose contact around year 5 and therefore they are Just Colleagues. 
B) no, this insane,  if you are not a USAmerican who goes out of state for college and grad, you might not realize that VERY FEW ppl in your life are physically around to hang out for ten years. Ppl are far away.
C) does foreman have a single friend under this criteria? Do Any Of Them? It's not like house hours are conductive to a social life, and also their experiences are not relatable and also the three of them are freaks (affectionate)
Last decade he's gone New Jersey, California, Maryland, New York. Unless he's currently hanging out with his undergraduate friends, who tf is this man's friend???
(With hindsight power, we know chase will be his friend but at this point he currently doesn't even like him)
No way he kept any childhood friends considering his contempt towards most of his peers. Then he has to keep in touch with college friends from NYC while in med school at Baltimore, a famously busy time period three hours away. Then he could theoretically keep those friends while in LA, but doctors don't have a ton of free time in residency and I don't see Foreman posting MySpace updates. Residency is what, 3-5 years? Then he moves across the country again...
D) People are often friends with their colleagues? Especially in a narrow field like diagnostics? Foreman, at this point in the series, who are you going to ask for a recommendation. Your reputation with ppl like Wilson or Cameron is important. Are you just. Planning on having an awkward workplace dynamic for another 1.5 years and dipping?? You could've lied.
E) seriously, I’m trying to imagine one of my coworkers saying this to me. We know PPH doesn’t have an HR department, but like, the edge.

Rereading Oresama Teacher Volume 1
Failure Chef Mafuyu can’t even make cup noodles
god, she’d do so well in a drama club, all sing-songy and dramatic
“I WANT YOU.” “Leave.”
Saeki’s a goddamn punk itching for fights.  A man with two braincells.
Flashback to stupid teens fighting.  Moments worth being shot in short video formats
Protective Mafuyu is the most badass, I love her
Saeki sucks. He sucks!  What kinda grown adult are you to take food from a minor who you KNOW lives alone and flat out says that that was her next two meals.  I know he’s falling back on the dynamic they had when they were younger, but BITCH you’re gonna catch these hands from me!
The Saitama gang knows her likes so well!  Good kids! #blessed
I’m sad that the dragon wallet doesn’t get shown much after this, but it’s understandable with how detailed it is
FUCK OFF SAEKI
Mafuyu, you’re so desperate for friends. Precious child
Best friends first meeting.  Complete opposite of meet cute, I love them
:OOO  I didn’t realize the Parfait girls show up this early!!!    Aww, they’re romanticizing dorm rooms like a bunch of cuties.
Psyching yourself up to ask the teacher to use the restroom is peak social anxiety
I wish Tsubaki-sensei had gotten the title she wanted for the manga instead of having it decided for her by her editor (who I can definitely see as part of the inspiration for Maeno from Nozaki-kun).  If the English localization title had been Fight Girl like it is in France, that would’ve been so cool. Also, I’m glad that her intent was to make Saeki despicable and didn’t back down from it.
Chivalrous Mafuyu is so good
Best friends princess carry each other all the time
SHE DIDN’T USE THE BATHROOM BEFORE GOING TO BEAT UP FIVE GUYS????
Oresama Teacher Monster Fighting AU sounds so good holy shit.  I hope Tsubaki-sensei gets to write something like it one day. Saeki hamster also sounds hilarious.
Those matching floral pajamas look so comfy I want them
Planning espionage with your best friend!!  And eating lollipops!
The one and only time we see the principal in this story, lol
Childhood friends?  More like childhood demon trainer
Tsubaki’s mom is supportive enough to buy ‘naughty’ (it’s literally a school uniform costume) reference material. Mad respect
Oh hey!  Saeki still sucks!  It’s your fault for forgetting your keys!  Don’t force yourself into your student’s home just because you used to be childhood friends and you’re too lazy to ask your coworkers for help!  You’re scary enough dude! I’m sure you could’ve stayed with one of them!!
She has GOOD taste in clothes, Saeki!  It’s called being a punk and also gay
Another thing that Mafuyu learned from Saeki is how to be a disaster chef
Y’all ever think about how Mafuyu is insecure about her strength because people look at her with fear as if she’s a monster or worship her like she’s above them?
Mafuyu’s a tank, confirmed
Plot hook!  Asking the right questions, Mafuyu.  Perceptive af
I wonder if there are other kids who live outside of the dorms like Mafuyu?  We never get to meet any of them, iirc
Mafuyu pointing out that Hayasaka never writes his first name!  Plot thread!
She loves her best friend so MUCH!!! ;w;
Usa-chan mask!!
Hayasaka, you angsty bitch, let your best friend into your heart!
GOD imagine Usa-chan talking in like a Mickey Mouse voice!!  It’s so funny!!!!
Sneak peek at baby Hayasaka!  I really wish I could pick Tsubaki-sensei’s brain on how planned out her plot was at the beginning.
That boy’s in love with a rabbit!!
Here comes the bet!  The chairman also gets barely any screentime
God these Hottoke Teacher omakes are hilarious.  Everything’s the same except slightly shifted. Saeki still sucks, and Hayasaka is tsundere, lol
