A friend of mine mentioned, on a particularly ranty day, that she loathes people who don’t remove price tags from the bottoms of their shoes. Yes, we know that it’s at the bottom of your shoe, but when you walk, you kick up your heels and it’s just plain unsightly! (I’m in full agreement with her on this one.)

On the way to class this morning, she revealed to me that this same person who inspired her price-tags-on-shoes rant - one of her tutors - traumatised her beyond repair yesterday morning. At 10am (an ungodly hour for anyone to be awake, as far as I’m concerned), she walked into the tutorial room, already drained from a test that she took at 8am, she found herself greeted with her tutor - an associate professor - clad in a sleeveless top, and a full bush poking out from either armpit.

GOOD GOD, WOMAN! REMOVE THY ARMPIT HAIR!

You’d think that in this day and age, no self-respecting grown woman would walk around - in a sleeveless top, at least - with all that undergrowth for all the world to see.

Geez. I guess some people really don’t believe in removing anything at all.

Edit: Someone once told me that 60% of patients admitted to mental institutes are teachers. With the amount of strange things that I see and hear, I’m quite willing to make a bet that the other 40% consists of students, students, and more students. :|
