The Walls Have Ears
though sometimes they forget that...
There were three guys standing outside the windows today, and making snide remarks while trying to pretend that they weren't actually looking inside at the people in the lobby. The thing is, that their remarks were neither witty, nor clever. How could I tell? Because I could hear every single word that these poor posing fools were saying. They were being jerks, and hoping to impress young women in doing so. Not the smartest way to do things boys.
It reminds me of what happens as soon as it gets to be a few months into the semester--the couples start saying goodnight outside the windows of the lobby. It seems that the windows are solid so they must actually be walls misconception runs thick in the Freshmen mentality, as various couples lean up against the windows to say their goodnights...I'm sure they can't actually think that those kinds of kisses are seen by the whole of the lobby-goers for the evening...I'm almost certain that they wouldn't make the same sorts of smacking noises if they knew that people were on the other side, listening, and watching every saliva-swapping moment.
At least I hope people aren't that comfortable with themselves...
