So while I was writing my assignment in Thode today, there were these two guys who were sitting at one of the group tables behind me and all they did was eat and laugh. This kept going on for about 20 minutes and then they finally left without having done any actual work. HOLY CRAP.

Sometimes to be an ass I shut down the computer so people will think it is broken. Not to save it for later, not hoarding, just when I am done so it will cool down. It is mean of me, but frankly you should always try to turn it on. People walk by, shake the mouse, and leave. I'm delightfully evil.
If you want a better chance of getting a computer, go to one of the computer labs on the second floor of BSB, or on the second floor of JHE. They are both underused- so even at the busiest times you'll be able to get a computer. There is occasionally a class in them, but that is pretty infrequent.

Similarly, I hate when there's a line for the quick access 5-minute computers in Mills, and when someone's 5 minutes runs out, they just open the browser and start again. That's really ignorant.

I saw some girl do that (while I was waiting in line to use one), and I said "EXCUSE ME. They are 5-minute computers for a reason. There's a line here" It was rude but I don't care.

I hate when I am starving and people walk in with McDonalds, or like right now, some girl just walked in with 3 pizzas and a bag of garlic bread of something.

You should get up oh so casually and walk over and help yourself to some pizza! Don't say anything just act like you are entitled!

DO IT!

They should establish a new rule: if someone can smell another person's food, then he/she is entitled to have a portion of it.

next time im turn your stuff in to lost and found ya *******
When I was in first year, I found an empty spot at thode (she put her stuff up at the top of the booth thing). I think I studied there for about 3 hours and she expected me to move because 'her stuff was there'.

On a related note, I hate when people sit down in front of the Macs in Thode, then proceed to pull out their laptop and work on it, while leaving the Macs at the login screen.

People who do that: stop it.
