People around campus do some pretty terrible things. Not anything malicious or severe, but people here are doing some pretty stupid things.

We take a lot of time to complain about things we don’t like about Binghamton University. Parking, dining hall food and the weather are among our favorites.

But have we taken the time to consider that maybe it’s the people that are the most irritating of all?

Hate me or love me for being cynical, but there are some things people do here that need to be talked about. And if you are in any of these categories, slap yourself and relish this opportunity to take a big step in your life. Let’s begin.

Stop calling ‘next stop’ on the residential shuttle. Mountainview College is really big, and I don’t think the bus driver is going to miss it.

If you start printing your documents at the PODS before mine have finished, get ready for me to take half of your stuff with me. I’ll probably be able to tell when my pages end and yours begin, but I’m kidnapping your power point slides out of spite. Just wait until my pages have finished. It makes things substantially less confusing.

Pedestrians on campus have no conscience. Students will cross at will, anywhere and everywhere, without using the slightest hint of judgment. Drivers on campus aren’t great either, but you sidewalk-dwellers are only making things worse.

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and the rabbi who will ask if you’re Jewish and whether you’d like to do a mitzvah. I know it was Sukkot, and I have to give that lulav and etrog my best shake, but let me do it on my own time. If I’ve got headphones in, take it as a message that I’ll ‘recharge the mitzvah’ when I see fit.

For the record, I saw this man actually go up to people eating by themselves in Dickinson Dining Hall, asking them his questions. If I were ever barraged like this during lunch, my next column would probably be about converting and its benefits.

I don’t get how every professor on campus is able to keep their dog off a leash. This isn’t really a pet peeve of mine, I’m just astounded by it.

There are those who go to campus poster sales who really think those posters will give their room originality and character. Right, because I’ve never before seen any college student with posters of Bob Marley, naked women or rules of beer pong.

If you are that person who wears shorts in the dead of winter, it’s time to change your look. It’s way too cold for shorts, and you’re not impressing anyone. Throw on a pair of pants.

The same stands for people who don’t prepare aptly for the rain. At the very least, hold one of these Pipe Dreams above your head ‘ after reading it, of course.

Hey, you might as well go ahead and tack me on to this list, too.
