To the dude who was told to be quiet on a certain university’s arts commons and proceeded to be a belligerent, childish asshole about it: the dude who asked you politely to be quiet was right. It was a quiet zone and you were loudly and obnoxiously bothering everyone around you. Yelling at him that he’s making it less of a quiet zone by asking YOU to shut up and then muttering “dick” under your breath just made you look like a pathetic manchild. I saw you with flyers for a marijuana legalization debate. Maybe you ought to smoke some, it’ll chill you out so that maybe you can react to polite requests less like an angry drunk dickhead. To the guy who asked him to be quiet: thanks, man. —Doesn’t Give a Shit About Your Weekend So Shut It

There’s a university with a quiet zone outdoors?
Man, this is a phucked up place…..
Do you have to tell the birds to stop chirping too?
arts, need you say any more.
OB didnt say it was outside. Commons can be indoors to you know..
My bad, I misinterpreted commons as a ‘quad’ …
thought of it as more of common grounds for sports n stuff than a building designated to ‘bring people together’.
That said, I never went to any of the commons at my Uni so I’m blissfully in the dark here.
I like the dark.
Everything is less ugly in the dark.
Duly noted 🙂
i liked it when they were on quinpool
Again, muzzle, tiara.
Good thing you had his back, OB.
For some reason ‘on the commons’ makes me assume it outdoors and
‘In the commons’ or ‘at the commons’ not so much.
I guess it’s ’cause I think of ‘on the way’, ‘on the trail’, ‘on the grass’ as opposed to being say… ‘on the library’ or ‘on the meal hall’.
Subtle verbiage skews our perception when trying to figure out what all these raving bitchers are so up in arms about.
