Passive Me.
To the girl it may (should?) concern (because it’s apparently not concerning you at all):
I believe it’s common courtesy to move your personal belongings off of the table beside you if someone asks if the space is occupied or saved for someone, particularly if you replied, “no.” Unless today is opposite day, or I’m dreaming, usually that would mean that you’re okay with me sitting there.
I am not asking you to pull out my chair for me, or offer me fresh-baked cookies. Just. Move. Your bag. Off of the desk. Please. I also wouldn’t be as irritated if, yeknow, it was just borderline on what is now my desk— but I’m not even exaggerating with a rough estimate of 52% desk coverage.
You have the entire table on your other side (occupied by 2 pieces of paper).
Did you have a bad day? Are you so into your Facebook studies that you are completely oblivious of my plight? Maybe I am being silly for assuming that such manners would have been learned within your 20-something-years of life.
Anyway. I guess I’ll scoot over when my friend to my right leaves for class.
Sincerely, Your fellow UCSD-mate.
