shutitdown: taking one for the anecdote

college moo cows.

So in class tonight there were two fine examples of the caliber of my classmates. Now, keep in mind that there are 250 students in a giant lecture hall, so to raise your hand and ask a stupid question takes a little bit of gumption.

Boy #1: "Food tastes better if it's free."
Boy #2: "I heard that if you give a newborn baby a clean shirt it will puke."
Boy #3: "Could you let us out 15 minutes early so I can watch Friends?" (okay, that happened last Thursday)

You get the point. And then I had to sit in the back today because I was running late and I swear there were people, like, mating, right next to me. It was totally gross.

This is also the school that has like 10 escalators. When we get out of the lecture everyone crowds onto the escalator and we proceed down. The problem arises when people get to the bottom and they just stand there, mouths gaping, looking around like they are waiting for the second coming. Now, it should be obvious to either move to the next escalator, or move out of the way, as there are another 50 people coming down the escalator. Since they don't move, of course, the 50 people coming down plow into them, and occasionally people fall over. When this first happened, I generously thought that maybe these were all transfer students from planets with no escalators, but after a few weeks and they keep plowing into each other and falling like dominos, I have to conclude that they are just morons.
