Had an English teacher that did this. Once asked if I could go to the bathroom and he replied with this statement. So I said “Not if you don’t let me.” He rolled his eyes and called me a smart ass, like he wasn’t. Yoi, I hated that guy.
Smartasses hate being out ass smarted.
I wish this was his worst problem. Dude was a mess and he took it out on us.
Funnily enough, assuming that Vampires can only enter a house if they are invited, being able and allowed to enter the house are, in this case, equivalent.
Found the real English teacher.
“If I was a werewolf I would fuck you up.”
“If you were a werewolf …”The worst thing about this is that the English teacher is wrong too - common usage dictates that this is a perfectly acceptable form of request.
He’s clearly already inside the house tho
Imagine if vampires could only suck the blood of victims that verbally allow them resulting in them loyering everyone to let them eat people
The vampire’s ability to enter (whether he can come in) depends on his permission to enter (whether he may come in). So he’s right.
