katie reaves is mean too

After entry number one, I am pleased to find that people don't find my disappointment in losers to be a mean characteristic. Quite frankly, a lot of people agree with me. I'm just the only one bored enough to write about these careless individuals that only use about 50% of their IQs.

Katie Reaves... she's DEFINITELY not a dumb person (by the way, names of dumb people that I know personally will be changed in order to allow them to save a little bit of face). She worked with me as an RA in the Lowrises in the fall. Katie is definitely a SMART person... she got the hell up outta there before spring. But, she left me and went to Belgium (boo). Anyway, the comment that she left me about last night's entry was one of those things that I just had to "laugh out loud" about. Here's the story...

In Barnett Hall, a building that houses 3 national sororities, is the control desk for Mauldin Hall (a male dorm) and Smith Hall (another sorority dorm). All three of these buildings made up The Lowrises. Katie was an RA on the Theta floor in Barnett, I an RA on the 3rd floor in Mauldin. Being RAs, we had to work shifts at the control desk in Barnett. Barnett, along with Mauldin and Smith were locked 24 hours a day and the only way to get into the building was to be a resident of the building and use your card to get in. Well, since Barnett was where housing information and spare keys for all 3 buildings were located, sometimes Mauldin and Smith residents needed into the building. Usually, Mauldin guys were pretty cool about not being able to get in... They were mostly freshman and they didn't want to make a scene about not getting into the building with all the sorority hotties in close vicinity. The Smith girls on the other hand were not so tactful. It is my belief that the girls in these 3 sororities thought themselves better than the girls that lived in Barnett (this was a common belief among all the Mauldin RAs). These girls would make chaos trying to get into the building. As desk assistants, we weren't really allowed to open the door for them, but it's VERY hard to ignore an angry sorority girl when she is knocking on a HUGE paneless window that takes up the whole wall.

Well, Katie was working the desk one day, when a girl comes up to the door. Probably doing some homework or reading one of the trashy guilty pleasure tabloids that sat at the desk, she wasn't really paying attention to who was coming in and out of the building. The sound of the card access machine was making its normal sound... the beep when the card is swiped in front of it... but there was no click for the door to open. Once again, a few more swipes of the card, and a few more beeps... but the door never opened. Seeing how it was not Katie's responsibility to let people into the building, she just sat there... until this young lady starts bangin' on the window. "My card doesn't work," she starts fussing. There were plenty of times when cards didn't work for residents. While frustrating for us the desk workers, we had to be sympathetic and let them in, but tell them the proper course of action for getting their card fixed. Katie looks at her in the window and watches the girl sit there and create a scene. "Let me in! My card doesn't work!" So Katie goes to the door to let the banshee in. As she opens the door she says, "Your card doesn't work?" The girl stands there with that Smith Hall girl look on her face and goes, "No." Then Katie gives her spill: "The you need to go to the Tiger 1 office and get them to look at it or get a new card." Then the girl says the Dumb People award winning statement... not in the stuck up snotty Smith Hall girl voice, but the confused and DUMBfounded I did sexual favors for someone in admissions to get into Clemson voice... "Oh. I don't live here."

Smith Hall Banshee... YOU are a Dumb Person.
