Adding and Stamping
Anecdotes, Rants, Trends

As usual, there was a line snaking out of the Registrar's office towards the sidewalk. People were jockeying for position while a small group of first-years stood to the side, clutching their add cards and trying to figure out if they were even at the right building. I spent about ten minutes waiting, which would have been more than reasonable if not for the fact that three out of five students didn't bother to complete their fucking add/drop cards. Almost everybody there had to be turned away for either missing the instructor's signature, or neglecting to have had the appropriate department stamp the card. I'd think those would be the first things they'd try – otherwise, what the hell's the point of using the card?

Either I'm getting crotchety in my old age or I'm just expecting too much of people.
