Sidewalks, elevator, annoying...

I’ve got a great idea! It’s such a good way to improve all of our experiences on campus. It branches off of this aged thing called “common sense.” Okay, but seriously. It’s about the fact that everyone is always bumping into other people on campus. I have to walk across campus twice a day, and it’s really frustrating constantly running into people. And with the way the university has been chopping up the sidewalks, we are now forced to share some with opposing “traffic.” But to help alleviate this intensely annoying issue, I have come up with a plan. How about everyone stay to their right when walking on sidewalks? You know, the ones where people who are walking different directions are forced to share? This would be most advantageous if put into practice at the crosswalks on Johnson. There is nothing like trying to catch that light while having to dodge other students doing the same thing, but in the other direction. If we just decided to stick to the right, then we shouldn’t have to worry about bumping into people anymore. This also applies to the use of stairwells. If you’re going down, stick to the right, and stay to the right. And if you’re going up, stay to the right and stick the right. Does everyone understand this? One last thing. Elevators. What the hell is everyone thinking?! It’s common knowledge in every other city on earth that when you’re waiting for an elevator, you let the people get OFF the elevator before you rush in. Come on. That’s so annoying. Oh yeah, and ask which floor everyone is going to if you’re right next to the button panel. That’s all I have to say. I look forward to the day where I don’t have to worry about people running into me and vice versa. Hope everyone has a more enjoyable experience on campus.
