Things Students Should Know After a Semester at ISU (Although Some Don’t…)
1. If the elevator is full, do not say while walking up to the elevator that is filled to the max with people: ‘Oh, is it full??’
2. Yes, the elevator will stop, even if you are holding in the Fireman button that says “Call Cancel”. If you hold this button, it will not cancel the elevator calls to all of the floors. It requires a key to operate, and you still look stupid holding it.
3. No free refills on coffee in the dining center.
4. You drive on the right-hand side of the road - you walk on the right-hand side of the sidewalk (especially on the quad). If you are with 10 friends, you are still not obligated to take up both sides of the sidewalk - same as if you were driving on a road.
5. You have to swipe your card in order to get into a computer lab.
6. No food or drinks in the computer lab (at least, not visible ones)
7. When a printer blinks a red light, it will most likely mean that it is out of paper. No, I do not keep paper up my ass so don’t ask me for some.
8. When you are out of money on your card, it is not a mistake - it means just this. Don’t make a scene, it’s annoying.
9. Quiet hours starts at 10:30PM on weekdays, do you need a clock?
10. When your TV volume is above 70, it generally means that your neighbor 3 doors down can hear it. Don’t act surprised and/or dumbfounded when your neighbor 3 doors down shows up and asks you to turn it down.
So you can probably guess that ALL of these things happened to me today.
Well, except for number 9 which happened last night. ;-)
Number 5 and 6 happened in rapid succession. A girl bought a package of peanut M&M’s and tried to go into the labs without swiping her card. The lab monitor caught her of course. She swiped, and then the monitor said “Um, you can’t bring those in there,” and pointed to her M&M’s. All the while I’m waiting for her brain to function so I can swipe myself into the computer lab.
I picked a computer by the computer-lab printer (not intentional), when number 7 happened.
Number 2 and 8 also happened in succession. A guy tried to get a refill on coffee, and the cashier rang it up as a coffee (there are no refills). The guy didn’t have enough money on his card. I am late to work and just want to buy my stupid poptarts that I wanted for breakfast.
The cashier walks off for about 10 minutes, looking for a manager. The manager comes over and says no free refills on coffee - the man is out of cash on his card anyways. He flips out - I wait another 10 minutes and he leaves, getting free coffee anyways. I was late to work.
Let this day be over, please.
