to do things right/correctly/the way they are supposed to be
done/ when they they are supposed to be done the first time around, so as to avoid either having to redo the same job
twice or suffering other unpleasant consequences (such as
literally not paying your actual bills on time and having to pay late fees).
son (crying, with a piece of ungraded homework in his hands)
Dad, why the hell is this composition of mine on The Great War not even graded? And why did the teacher just shove it back in my
face with out even bothering to look at it.
Father: listen, Carl. If I'd be your teacher, i would have reacted the exact same
