Random thought for the day

But those were the educated ones. What about the ones that were not educated?

Well, in their defense, they were working on their educations, the undergrads anyways. lol

Back in the dark days when I used to have to work for a living, I did so at a large university in my area. You already know how students are with cell phones and the students there were no exception.

It never failed, EVERY semester at least two students were hit by cars on campus because they were looking at their damned phones while walking out from between parked cars into the street. Guess their mama didn't teach em to look both ways before walking out into the street.

Another thing about some students. Seems that their mama didn't teach em how to dress themselves either. I always marveled at the idiots with only sweatpants and light sweatshirts on while the world is covered in snow and ice and the wind chills down below zero. Gloves? Who needs em! And it's always the guys who can't dress themselves. The women did much better.

School or not the long sleeve & shorts group are everywhere, smartphones seem optional but just bout guaranteed smoking/huffing on something where allowed. Is lil more comical whenever.

Agreed! In my dark days of working, I managed a large bank branch that was 2 blocks away from the University of Washington campus. Way too many idiot stories to list. At the beginning of each semester, I had a topic about public safety in one of my staff meetings. Reminded my staff that there would be a large police presence in the area "teaching" new students how to properly cross streets and use cross walks.
