Campus safety didn't write this. Whomever lost a parking spot did. I'd still give it to the head of security, just in case.
And first...maybe?
Does that say "You not lucky I can ram cars." ???
Why write it w/ such obviously young, girly handwriting when trying to disguise as campus safety? Mature it up a bit to look legit!
It's not signed "Campus Safety", it says "Campus Saferen", which everybody knows is Latin for "I'm a passive-aggressive loser who is afraid of confrontation so I'll write anonymously and with bad grammar. Nothing will change but I'll have a great story to tell sipping Grape Nehis at Wienie Hut Jr's."
Oh no....NOT another week of parking notes and lame lists, pleeeeeaaaase.
what is a scantron?
You not lucky I can ram cars?
You not lucky I rammed your car. Would have been a lot more of a detterant to park there.
Well, that's not very safe.
Foe some reason, when I read and hear myself saying, "I can ram cars."..I start laughing uncontrollably!!!
LOL!!
Yeah, What IS a scantron?
Why in the world is there a high school dorm on a college campus? Virgin vault for frat party sacrifices?
Is a scantron a bar code reader for parking tickets? Or a peacekeeper in a 1980's arcade game/movie?
A scantron is a way to take tests. You fill in tiny bubbles and a machine grades them. It is like what you use to take the SAT and I'm assuming the ACT even though I didn't take it.
Funny. Usually the angry parking notes say something along the lines of "..your car will be towed.."
This one isn't screwing around. Forget towing, buddy. Your car will be TOTALLED.
I like it.
I think that is a "G" - you GOT lucky.
Oh no....NOT another week of people whining about what they consider lame Finds, pleeeeeaaaase.
Oh thank you! Now it makes sense. It does say 'you GOT lucky'. Notice the G in WARNING is made in a similar way.
Scantrons. Remember how you HAD to use a #2 pencil, had to fill in the bubble completely and darkly and what a bitch it was to erase when you wanted to change your answer, and how screwed it was when you discovered that you somehow had filled in the last 75 answers on the wrong lines, or how it marked answers wrong when they were right?
Funny. Really, I am laughing at this.
Who the hell is 'campus safety?' I wouldn't feel too safe if they are writing notes like this.
I feel, deep in my soul, that this was NOT written by anyone affiliated with any campus security, safety, or whatever.
Just a feeling.
"You park like an asshole" would have been much better than this.
Why is there a high school dorm on a college campus?
As department chair, I have to order the Scantron forms for my department. It's a real racket. They cost about $75 for 500 forms, which are long, narrow and thin, probably using about a third of the paper pulp as one sheet of printer paper. The ink used for printing the form can't possibly account for the expense, can it? This for a form that can only be used once and thrown away -- and if a student makes a mistake or wrinkles the form, you have to hand them another one. Maybe the expense also covers maintenance on the Scantron machine, but I doubt it.
Most teachers have 150 students. If they use a scantron form only twice a year, for finals, they'll go through 300 forms, so a package of 500 doesn't provide enough for two teachers. And some teachers use them more than twice a year. (Personally, I don't believe this kind of test is a valid assessment of knowledge or deeper understandings of concepts and I try to avoid using them.)
If this form had been previously used for a test, at least this person got twice the money's worth by using the back for a note. But if they took the form out of the teacher's supply cabinet to use for scratch paper...
Beneath it all, we are all the same, all human, children of God. We all bleed red and breathe the same air. Oh, and we call all ram cars.
@ GORGON- I don't understand your last line? Oh, and we call all ram cars. ????
Can you please explain this?
Thanks..
Holly, anyone with a car and the ability to drive *can* ram another car with it. It's a deadly weapon. If you've ever read "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" there's a whole chapter (ok, page) about it.
I remember on a hot August night when I was about 8 sitting in my mother's car at the stoplight. Ahead of us was the "rich man" in town, in his massive Lincoln, and ahead of him was an unwashed fella in his 20's driving a beat-up Rabbit. Somehow an altercation broke out between rich and poor (I think the Rabbit had cut the Lincoln off) and they both dismounted from their cars to shout at each other in the street. Unwashed shouted, "Don't push me, man! Don't push me!" and Rich responded, "I'll push you--I'll push you right in the mouth!" Unwashed young man jumped in his car and roared into the intersection--reversed, and slammed the front of the Lincoln, and then took off. This sort of behaviour was unknown at that time, in that place. The light when through an entire change before any of the open-mouthed drivers could react.
@ wearing boots in the hall:
...that would be like blowing your nose on a ten dollar bill?
(Thanks for the background info.)
Again.. why is there a high school dorm on a college campus? Jane and Ryan, if you are around, can you please explain? Thanks.
"I can ram cars."
Totally made me think...
"I can has cheeseburger?"
Which then made me think of the next find...
"I can has Sheldon?"
Hi, I'm Jane and I submitted this months ago. I thought it was a real hoot at the time, and then later found out that it was actually my roommates that had written me the love note. My college has a sleep away program for gifted high schoolers and they stay in the special dorms across from the library, where more ballsy students choose to park their cars infront of if they make a quick library stop.
Thanks, Jane for clearing this all up. Even if no one else comments on your post, you will know at least one person read it.
Your roommates were real clowns :)
A scantron is a test with #2 pencils and you fill in the circles A B C or D... Remember?
