Campus Rants

3. Dickweed person I share a wall with. You are a dick. I have met you maybe three times over the course of the semester, even though our doors are maybe 3 feet apart. I don’t really especially want to meet you, either. This is because you are constantly screaming at things, and never shut up. Especially not at night. Also, I’m pretty sure you’ve been playing Halo 3 for the past 2 weeks. Straight.

Oh man. I live on the other side of this guy. Nothing beats being woken up at 4 in the morning by the sound of machine gun fire. Does your fucktard also smoke pot and forget to towel the door? That’s fucking killing me. The smell of weed and the sound of machine guns (it’s just like 'Nam!).

Scientologists: stop leaving your Psychiatry: An Industry of Death DVDs everywhere. I keep crossing out “Death” and writing “Awesome” with my Sharpies, but it’s getting tiresome.

Frat Boys: your subwoofer does not sound good. It sounds like a fucking pneumatic hammer. There is no way that can be enjoyable, unless you need to clear intestinal blockage.

How do you know they live in the dorms?

I wake them up and ask them, that’s how! :stuck_out_tongue:

Regardless, the only sleeping that should be permissible in the library is passing out on a stack of books at 4 am during finals week.

(And no, I don’t really wake them up…But I would love to walk around putting shaving cream in their hands and tickling their noses with a feather. The hand in warm water trick might ruin the nice couches they are hogging.)

Queen Bruin, for a second there, I thought you were talking about my campus! Hehe…the only fundamental difference seems to be what we call our bears. The LaRouchies up here are very militant. They’ll actually yell at you if you don’t want to talk to them. “OPEN YOUR MIND, MAN!!” They were singing nonsense at the top of their lungs a few days ago.

My first experience with them involved watching a group verbally abuse a professor walking by - at 7 am.

Sorry - I live 80 miles from my campus, and I’ll take a nap in the library if I damn well please. :stuck_out_tongue:

I saw those this week, and I just don’t get the point. If you put up giant stillframes from The Miracle of Life, it’s just as disgusting. And since we can have giant obscene pictures on campus, why don’t the pro-breasts groups ever protest here?

The weird thing is every time the nutjobs from out side protest on campus(anti-abortion, anti-gay), it just makes the people that support their cause look ridiculous. It’s especially funny to call students bad people for going to school when your 9 year old is spending his day in front of dead fetus posters.

When I went to Florida State, we had all sorts of protesters, but most of them were of the “religious need to smite others” type. We’ve gotten the anti-abortion people, complete with giant posters, giant billboards on the sides of their vans, and mutilated baby dolls; Brother Jed and his insanity; Pentecostal preachers, their thoroughly submissive wives and their small children; random haters of things that are not “biblical.” We’ve also had on-campus people cause disturbance via all sorts of stuff; during my freshman orientation, there was a protest against sweat shop labor in relation to sports memorabilia/clothing/equipment, and there was the Amnesty International “OMG, people are being raped and killed in Mexico!” bloody dresses hanging from the trees incident. (That last one made walking alone on campus at night a very creepy thing, as it not only obscured views in lots of areas, but could believably look like people loitering in shadowed areas as well.) We had a lot of protests going on during those four years.

I don’t really have any campus issues this year, as the majority of my classwork is online. I did, however, have an issue with one of the “once a month” meeting places at a local community college. When you’re under construction and blocking all the visitor parking, please make signs that are bigger than 8.5" x 11" please. It makes them easier to actually discover when I get lost on the way to class for the second time in a row.
