1.When there are signs posted in the library, in LARGE font, you should read them. If it says “Cell-phone free area,” that means turn the bloody thing OFF. It does not mean answer it and talk on it for ten minutes, telling people why you’re in the library and what you’re going to have for dinner.

2.Furthermore, the second floor is a known “quiet area.” Not only should you not have your damned cell phone on, you need to stop talking so loudly. It’s obnoxious and makes people that are silently doing homework want to throttle you.

3.Last mention of cell phones: it’s really rude to use them in class, in case you have been unaware of the rules of etiquette. By the way, if you think the professor doesn’t see you surreptitiously playing snake, you’re sorely mistaken. They’re fully aware you have it hidden in your Norton Anthology; they just refuse to break their lecture to bitch at you for it.

4.I know you need to find a parking space. However, mistaking the parking garage for the Indy 500 is probably going to get you into an accident one of these days. SLOW DOWN!

5.The more you creepily stalk a person for her parking space, the more likely she will take her time to put her backpack in her trunk, start the car, put on her seatbelt, change the radio station, roll down the windows . . .

6.If you’re going to sleep through every class, don’t bother to come at all! It’s very distracting to those who actually want to learn. Remember, this is college; no one forces you to go to class.

7.For those of you who bike around campus, remember that it takes less time for you to go around me (particularly when I’m already on one side of the sidewalk) than it does to yell at me to get out of the way.

8.Apparently, nowhere in Florida is there a law to yield to pedestrians. It just makes sense, however, when there is a person halfway across the road, to just let them walk to the other side unscathed. I know you have to get to class. Guess what? So does that person, and he was there first.

Just keep these rules in mind, and it will be a better place for all involved. Thanks.
