I see you checking yourself out there buddy. In fact, I check myself out too, as I breeze by any reflective surface. I'm not vain, self-absorbed, or worried about my current appearance at all. [note collective sarcasm]
Observe any doors, display windows, or pictures hanging on the walls, and you'll find yourself someone who is checking themselves out. I tried to pull the whole, "look in the left door while I open the right door" move the other day, and I ended up getting smacked in the face. Let's just say I got what I was looking for.
What is the real purpose of display windows? Let me tell you. So people can momentarily get a glimpse of their beauty.
Perfect locations for "the checkout:"
- doors from BBP to the student center - especially now that the windows don't have panels anymore
- the pictures on the walls of the basement-language department under Burns and Chapman
- outside Harry's Coffee where the curtains hang (actually, this is probably the optimum place)
- outside of the bookstore, the actual display case. Like anyone really looks at the display.
- nowhere in the library, you should be studying
- Propst, but not at a high-traffic time
- on the Quad with your laptop on a sunny day, like you can see anything on your screen besides your face. judge those people.
I'm merely pointing out one of humanity's common quirks.
It is quite fascinating - to see what people do when they think nobody is watching.
"I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us!"
-A pair of us indeed, Emily, a pair indeed.
