ITT we share times that /lit/ helped us in real life, here, I'll start:

>be today
>be in interview for STEM job I really want
>small company
>interview with Argentine owner
>gets phone call
>"Sorry, this is my brother from back home, I'll tell him that I have to call him back"
>"[insert cordial Argentine translation of the above]"
>Me: "Was that Spanish or Argentinian Spanish?
>"Argentine, do you know it?"
>"No, I just read a book by this guy named Borges last week and he spoke it"
>"You know Borges? I use to live in the same city as him"?
>holyshit
>Talk about Borges and Argentina for a bit
>ends up offering me the job at the end of the interview
>I accept
>mfw I only read this book cause /lit/ hyped it so hard
