I do not often write Pit rants, as I am not very good at them. But occasionally I must rant disregard my lack of talent in this area and rant away.
I did not plan to spend my senior year living on a hall full of freshmen, but that is how things worked out and I am trying to take it in stride. I consider myself to be a tolerant person. I don’t complain about minor annoyances like loud conversations in the hallway late at night or a messy bathroom. But I do expect people to follow some basic rules of dorm etiquette. Actually, at this point I’d be happy with strict obedience to just one rule, and that rule is DO NOT OPEN MY DOOR AND BARGE INTO MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION!
I am a very busy person. I also value my privacy. While I do not mind visits from hallmates, I would prefer it if you did not drop by several times a day for idle chitchat. But even that I was willing to put up with until you began to OPEN MY DOOR AND BARGE INTO MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION!
Admittedly, this has only happened twice, but that is twice too often. I had hoped that you might have learned your lesson after the first time, when I greeted you with a chilly “Do you need something?”. How foolish I was! You have just done it again, and this time you did not even seem ashamed that you had OPENED MY DOOR AND BARGED INTO MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION!
I realize that you are young, new to dorm life, and were possibly raised by wolves, but this is still unacceptable. If you knock and I do not answer, it is either because I am out or because I do not wish to be disturbed. I might be studying, listening to music, working on a paper, changing clothes, masturbating, taking a nap, or deliberately trying to avoid you. But it doesn’t really matter what I am doing, because common courtesy dictates that unless I shout out a cheery “Come in!” you should not OPEN MY DOOR AND BARGE INTO MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION!
You seem like a nice enough girl, so I don’t want to have to yell at you about this instead of just ranting about it on a message board that you will never read. I also don’t want to have to keep my door locked at all times. But I am going to have to do one or the other if you continue to OPEN MY DOOR AND BARGE INTO MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION!
Or I suppose I could just take to hanging around in the nude. Not because I think that you would have the decency to be embarassed enough to leave me alone then, but because I think that the light reflecting off my sickly pale white flesh would be enough to permanently blind you the next time you OPEN MY DOOR AND BARGE INTO MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION!
Thank you.
