Common Sense Isn't So Common

There are two pedestrian bridges that cross a super busy street here on campus - one on each end of the biggest parking lot the University owns.

It was decided about a month ago that these bridges would be repainted and re-fenced.

Right during the middle of finals.

Yeah, I know.

Awesome.

Anyway, they decided to close only one at a time so the other would be open and fully accessible for students to get to their finals.

We've received a lot of complaints.

My very favorite was this one girl.

She provided endless entertainment at the office.

She got to the foot of the pedestrian bridge and found she couldn't cross that bridge to get to her final.

Did she walk the 200 yards to the other bridge?

Nope.

What did she do?

She just turned around and went back home.

And, I'm not saying she did this, but she might have called an attorney.

And I'm not saying that this happened, but someone might have threatened to sue due to "inaccessibility of the testing site".

If I ever go back to school and am not ready for my finals, I'm totally going to use this excuse.
