Overheard at Orientation (aka: gunner bingo) Forum

[BVest]

Begs the question came out in 2nd Torts class. From the front row. Used incorrectly of course.

Oh shit, jam, I think you're in my lawyering section! Mind saying which you're in?

lol, you could honestly probably be in any of our lawyering sections. we racked up a good amount of line drawing in my section too.

Here's my favorite from last week:

me: what are your goals for after law school?
dummer: eh, don't know
me: why did you go to law school?
dummer: eh, why not
me: so you're committing to spending a quarter of a million dollars for no reason?
dummer: if I don't like it, I'll drop out next year, no big deal
me: I wish you were in my section (because it'll soften the curve...)

I'd be annoyed if I were trying to make friends with someone and they started questioning me about my debt.

I've summed up and paraphrased here - I'm not that socially awkward. I didn't ask about debt, nor would I ever bring up money to someone, I gently asked about it being a big commitment (could be interpreted as time and effort)

You sound like a huge douche.

[20130312]

I accidentally said some version of "where do we draw the line". Facepalmed after I heard a couple of snickers. Whoops.

[indigomachine]

oh, also, piggybacking and "this isn't relevant, but...". from the same person within 10minutes.

[northwood]

remember, if you cant spot the gunner after week 1.. you may need a mirror to spot the gunner.. keep that hand down, and your responses to yourself

Some guy spent our whole orientation dinner sucking up to our legal writing instructor. Legal writing is ungraded at my school.

Repoasted for this thread.

*walks up to me at elevator*
Aspie: Oh you're going down? Guess I'll go down too before I go up!
Me: ...

Me: I think I'm in your section, my name's John Stamos.
Aspie: Oh cool, what section are you in?
Me: Yours.
Aspie: OH LOL I'm socially awkward. It's okay to be socially awkward though.
Me: ...


...
Aspie: Where are you from?
Me: Statesylvania
Aspie: Oh, you're that guy.
Me:...

*gets on elevator to the stacks where locker is*
*aspie kid proceeds to keep yell-speaking to me from across the stacks*

Awesome stories, man. Definitely worth the re-post.

It was one conversation. That was literally every word spoken over about 8 minutes.

Replace "references Ivy League alma mater" with "references Duke" and I think we're on to something here.

Saw someone chugging an energy drink at the start of a Q&A/first lecture from the dean at orientation, that amused me.

This thread is just not delivering for me.
