Dear Parents Who Call Our Office and Speak for Your Child When They Are Sitting Next to You
Cut the cord!! If your kid is old enough to apply to college I think they are old enough to call their college up on the phone and ask their own questions... unless they are too busy changing their own diaper or something.
Sincerely,
ECK
I'll never cease to be amazed. "Well, my son has some questions about majors he's interested in" "Okay what does he have in mind?" "I don't know he's right here, let me ask him..." WHAT?!?! Put him on the damn phone!! Why isn't he calling?! Its like those girls who are 20 and still afraid to buy their own tampons. Oh and I also had a woman calling FOR H ER HUSBAND who was also in the room right next to her... Girlllll whatchoo doing making those calls for a grown man? I just do not know. Do people not understand how nice it is to 1. take the reins of your own schedule and 2. not have to micromanage another adult's life?

Dear Everyone at the Library Who Sits Alone at a Table Made for Four People
Dear Everyone at the Library Who Sits Alone at a Table Made for Four People,
Your Northface is not a person and does not need its own chair. Your floppy ass messenger bag? Also not a person and does not require its own chair. We all know you want to look astute wearing your little non-prescription glasses in the library on a Saturday but really you just look like an ass. FOUR PEOPLE can sit at those tables! You're writing a D paper anyways. Go home.
Sincerely,
ECK
Okay, really, this irks me so much. There is NO REASON that one person needs to take up an entire table. Finding a spot to squat in the library has become an Odyssey- like walkabout even though there should be plenty seats available. Yes, we all know you are so brilliant and important and your daddy donated the third floor or whatever. Just scoot your crap over to one quad of the table so that other people can study.
