In which there is discretion, or lack thereof
Yesterday, I went to the UL - Undergraduate Library - and used a stand-up computer1. I only needed to check my email, so there was no reason to sit down. So I was standing there, checking my email, and I could see the guy at the computer across from me. He looked like a tool, to be perfectly honest - he had on a myspace shirt, a black jacket, and one of those hats that looks like a bastard child of a cowboy hat and a top hat - the ones that are way too small to fit on your head, so they sit at an angle on top of your head, making you look like a douchebag. Anyways. Got the picture in your mind? Okay so I was standing there, and he just was going at it inside his nose. I mean, he had like his whole finger up there and he was seriously working on some shit. Then, he pulled his finger out and discreetly put it to his mouth. By this point, I was openly staring. However, our young hero was not finished - he stuck his finger back in his nose and repeated.
I happen to be, at this very moment, back in the UL. And there is a man at one of the computers, and he is watching porn. Or perhaps not porn, but girls clad in little more than bikinis doing... something. And he is gyrating. And murmuring. And it is extremely, extremely disturbing.
1: As soon as you enter the UL, there is a little niche with computers. It is designed such that there are two rows, one against the wall with about 12 computers and one free-standing, with about 4 computers on each side. On one side (the one opposite the wall), you can sit down; on the other, you stand up so that you can see those seated on the other side. With the ones against the wall, you have to log in (with a UNC name) to access the computer; with the other 8, you don't.
