Re: You look ridiculous
Add to this list the people who get way too dressed up for class. I can understand if you're going to work later or have a presentation, but I really don't get the people that want to impress everybody with how sleek they look at 8:00 AM.

I don't see what's wrong w/ walking and talking on a cell phone.
I don't get the whole striped shirt thing either?

Re: You look ridiculous
What's NOT wrong with walking and talking on a cellphone?
Hey, if you want to give off the impression that you're 2 COOL 4 SKOOL and everybody needs to know that people like talking to you, go ahead. I think it looks stupid because...it just does. I'll stand outside and talk on the phone, but to walk and talk at the same time...there's just something annoying about it.
I left class five minutes ago and came to the computer lab which is about 300 yards away. In that time I counted SIX girls who were on their phones. And guess what, simbagal, I didn't see one guy with a phone even in his hand.

Re: You look ridiculous
I'm not sure if I even pay attention to when I do or don't make a call. I'm sure if someone called me when I was walking I would pick it up and vice versa, if I felt the need to call someone when walking I would do it and not think "man, I may look stupid doing this"

I believe there's an incriminating photo of a certain mod doing this.... but guys who wear their hat backwards look ridiculous.

I always thought it was weird to see a ton of people walking to class, and over half of them hooked into an ipod or a cell phone. You're walking with 500 co-eds... human interaction anyone? That's where I meet most new people. Do we just HAVE to listen to music 24/7?

Re: You look ridiculous
I try to use my cell phone as little as possible, and I haven't really used my ipod in forever, but I still don't want to interact with the people around me. I'm really one of those people who doesn't mind interacting but won't if I don't have to.JCShutout wrote:++Michael wrote:I do that at work because it's comfortable in the summer.Kyle wrote:A guy I work with does it (he also rolls up his sleeves of his shirt [something else I hate, by the way] because he's egotistical); I also see people walking around campus doing the same thing.

Since we've gotten to talking about computer labs and cell phones though, I hate it when people have correspondences, hang up, have the same person call them back with more info, hang up again, have them call again to find out what's the latest...lather, rinse, repeat. If you're going to do this, please put your phone on vibrate. I really don't want to hear "Crank Dat" every five minutes.
