the human race tut tut

so yesterday i was attempting to enter the University as normal, sitting in the back of vanessa's car eugene, edging our way up the never-ending queue of cars, swiping their cards to prompt the lifting of the boom.

edging...
closer
...
closer

when the car in front of us, started taking their sweet maryanne of a time. on a concentrated closer inspection, we noticed that the woman (despite the little drawings on the swipy machine that ILLUSTRATE exactly what to do) was swiping her card the wrong way. so we used mental power "turn the card round... the OTHER way..."

and so, because of our super brain fuelled strength, she gave up and started gesturing frantically at the secturity guard on the ooooother side of the world. dramatic arm movement! almost audible sigh! banging of fingers against side of car!

so i got out. flounced over.

"sorry, but you are swiping your card the wrong way" i said
"like oooo-oooh my god!"

my calling? life instructor for card swipers!
