People Who Must Be Destroyed Part 1

In case you somehow haven't noticed, there has been a recent abundance of people whose existence just seems kind of extraneous. Not be sound mean or anything, but there are just some people that I can't figure out why they haven't been hit by a car or something yet. Here's my first installment of such people..

People Who Take My Seat in Class

• I realize that we do not have assigned seats in most college classes. But I think most anyone would agree that in any class of less than 30 or 40 people, everybody sits in the exact same seat every day (I also sit in the same seat in larger classes, but not everyone follows this logic). Of my 4 classes this semester, 3 are small enough to where everyone sits in the same seat every day. For some strange reason, my calculus class is the only one where my seat has never been taken by some moron who likes to move around from day to day. In my other two classes, some inconsiderate person who for some reason wants to be different from everyone else occasionally steals my seat. This just throws off my day entirely. I can't concentrate in class because I'm thinking about what kind of an idiot would take my seat.

People Who Don't Use Turn Signals

• This just shows a general lack of common curtesy. There is a huge abundance of these people in the Tuscaloosa area. If it took a lot of energy to put on your blinker, I could understand it, but the fact that some people are too lazy to flip a little lever and potentially cause an accident is just stupid.

People Who Major in Math or Physics

• I guess they don't need to be destroyed as much as they need to be given immediate psychological evaluation. I just don't think normal people would willingly subject themselves to such torture.
