{{quote|''"We are a treacherous, inhuman terrorist organization. We are taking over this ship starting now!" At the serious-faced masked man's words, the Jindai High School students yell out in a fed up voice, "Again?"''|Typical high school field trip in the world of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]!''}}
A new character will walk into a situation that seems bizarre, flaky, extremely dangerous, or otherwise very much out of what he considers ordinary. He asks someone, "Is it always like this around here?" and is told "No, today's rather quiet," or "You get used to it," or "Well, just on [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|Tuesdays]]," or something similar.
Line 13:
* ''[[Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei]]'' often has characters asking this question or variants on it, usually regarding the teacher's antics.
* In ''[[One Piece]]'', Robin asked this when she joined the crew and noticed how lively they were.
* While terrorist attacks aren't really routine in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', when the page quote took place, the class in question had just had its school trip hijacked by terrorists for the second time that year. This is in addition to the mayhem caused by the Behemoth attack on Tokyo that summer, Sousuke's excessively paranoid behavior, and a direct terrorist attack on the school the following spring.
