I fought the lard and the lard won

[bomma]

So me and my mate had just gone up at Info Commons Level 3 last night 2 study. Had jumped on our computers for about 5 mins when the "above-average" sized ic lady comes up and makes a grand announcement that there had been many complaints that people in our area had been talking and that we had to leave. I mean WTF right!!! So i explained to her that it couldnt possibly be us as we had only just gotten there to her reply of "I dont care".:stupid:

so we go outside and she came out a couple of mins after and looked at her and said "nice power trip". At this point she went off her nut at me. and we exchanged some words :argue:Cries of "YOU THINK IM POWERTRIPPING?!?!? IM DOING MY JOB!!!" "IC RULES BLAH BLAH BLAH" "COME TALK TO MY SUPER!!!" watever lady go :buggerd: yourself.....the one bit of power she has and she abuses it by :spanking: us decent students :nono:

like uncle ben said "With great power comes great responsibility"....anyways, i just thought everyone should know where our university fees are being pumped.......:doh:

[Timati]

She probably wanted you and have her way with you...

[CookMySock]

there had been many complaints that people in our area had been talking and that we had to leave.Heres how to fix that. Tell her "NO" and don't flinch, and then get back to work. Let her scream her fucken nut off all she likes, even let her call the police, theres nothing she can "DO" about it.

Stop being a wooss and say "NO". Remember not to flinch and then ignore her completely.

Some dickhead at the pools tried this with me last week.. ranted and screamed and I told him "NO" and he screamed to me to "GET OUT OR I'LL CALL THE COPS" so I shrugged and told him to go do that, and I ran back up the hydroslide steps. Five minutes later I had the pool manager apologising to me profusely. Hrm she was pretty too.. :love:

Stand up to people. Tell them "NO". There isn't a fucking thing they can do about it.

BTW, make sure you are right though.

[Real_Wolf]

wait wait wait, you managed to find a spare computer in info commons?

Also, this gives me an idea of complaining for those people who are using facebook/whatever when you need a PC to do some actual work

[BANZAI]

but yea it was noisy last night. I couldn't finish my essay there coz I see so many of my mates studyin and they keen coming up to my desk and start talking to me :p

[Ragingrob]

Lol rep for the thread title, brilliant!

[bomma]

unfortunately for us, students arent seen as paying customers so we get fucked over and over....i was scared she'd sit on me so in fear for my life i left and plus i ACTUALLY didnt want to make noise and disturb the others as i know how important it is to have silence when trying to study!!! me and my mate ended going down to level 2 and discussing the material anyway so i didnt care too much about losing the compy on level 3....but the principle stays and we got fucked!!! :buggerd:


wait wait wait, you managed to find a spare computer in info commons?

Learn to say "NO". Try it, it works and its fun too. Don't flinch. Don't discuss. First person who talks after the "NO" will lose. Simply turn back to what you were doing and let her rant to herself. Really. When she screams threats, tell her to "go for it" LMAO. TRY not to break out laughing at her please, coz she might knife you or something, hahahaha.

Hee hee, try it - NO.

Seriously though, "NO" is a great life skill. One day you WILL have to say it - might as well be earlier than later.

i gotta agree with DB on this one..he makes sense..will try it if she comes to me and tells me off..:angry2:

[klyong82]

Remember its not ok ......learn to say no.....

[gijoe1313]

Good grief, students actually wanting to work and study? Dang, things have changed since I was last there ... anything more than a C- meant you were working to hard! :lol:

I remember whole weeks when I missed out on lectures and tutorials ... and many a great hour spent passing playing cards or boardgames or RPGs in the commons.

The last incident I could remember involving servers was when a group of us were playing a LAN game and a huffy stuffed shirt comes in and begins to check all the computer screens (we had all gone to legitimate work by the time he got around to us :lol:) ... nothing he could do, as soon as he turned around we were all back at it again :2thumbsup

Not as if we were doing anything wrong, nobody waiting to use computers ...

But yep, when you know your right, your right ... stand your ground and just go ahead and do what you wanted to do.

[wysper]

BTW, make sure you are right though.

DB

This is KEY - you can often bluff your way through it but being right makes it much better.

[Phurrball]

^^^ She should become a parking warden with mad skillz like those...

In my experience, the further devolved the power, the more c*nty the exercise of that power. See the sheer lovliness of parking wardens for the best example.

[Timati]

Possibly you taste like curry but seeing you have sweaty hairy balls, who knows haha. She might be kinky...Anyhoo, I would go back and see if the bi%@ch does it again especially if you were in the right. Hate it when people think they can f@#! others around...

[2wheeljunkie]

btw nish lucky u walked away man..i saw this dude who got told to leave cause he wasnt using the screen but juz the workspace area and he said no. the ic guy went back and got security to handle him..everyone sided with him ofcourse..poor guy..was minding his own business..but really ppl shud stand up for their rights..then again ppl will argue with the fact that he wasnt using the comps in a comp area soo yea i dunno..

WTF!. That's just ridiculous. If anyone did that to me, I would tell them to "F" off since I'm paying to use the damn facility. How the fuck does it matter whether I use the screen or not and possibly the dude could have just been using the screen and reading his books. Talk about tyrannical behaviour. I should carry a baseball bat around with me and whack retards like these when they approach me.

[CookMySock]

the ic guy went back and got security to handle him.."security" is not allowed to "handle" you. Thats an assault. They can "ask" you to leave, but while its a public place and they have no authority to force you to do anything. Not even the police can remove you from a public place while you are not under arrest. Its the law. Tell "security" to call the police, OR ELSE YOU WILL. Take their photo, or video them with your camera or cellphone. Its perfectly legal to take someones photo, permission or not.

If THEY call the police, politely and quietly decline to discuss it with the police. Tell them you are legally entitled to be here, you know your rights, and you will now quietly and legally continue about your business, and then turn and do so.

A public citizen in a public place has rights. If the door is open for the purpose of the public to enter, then it is a public place. Stand up for your rights, but MAKE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT.

Be EXCEEDINGLY CAREFUL not to give them legal grounds. Be calm. Be quiet. Keep a witness with you, make sure they understand they should not leave. Calmly and quietly continue about your business. Make sure it is THEY who creates a disturbance, not you. Make certain your witness understands to decline to comment to the police.

Not nice, but sooner or later you have to stand up for yourself.

I agree with DB. Gotta be smart when dealing with spazs' like them although when they are off Uni property....met Mr. BaseBall bat...

[CookMySock]

when they are off Uni property....met Mr. BaseBall bat...fuck yeah. I have had my time on the receiving end, and now I get real stupid real quick when I have just cause and there are no witnesses. Take care using such a weapon tho, you might kill someone... quite distasteful, and almost certainly not what you want. "The learn" is one thing, dead people is a whole new ballgame, heh scuse the pun.

Mostly you can get even when the persons supervisor, as you can make a complaint with them after the incident, and make the perpetrator look a proper fool.

DB

[2wheeljunkie]

i completely agree with DB and timati..the guard waas nice though..no physical contact came abt..but one thing though..is uni grounds and the buildings on uni ground public property??..i really shud know this incase of future "misunderstandings"...

[Timati]

Honestly dude, "the guard was nice" and "no physical contact"...told you keep your private dirty thoughts to yourself hahaha.

Seriously though, you sure you wanting to take it to the next level bud with "misunderstandings", make sure you are backed up before going trigger happy. My thoughts...if I see them on the streets...that's off Uni grounds..

[Timati]

Yeah agree about it being a different ball game though gotta fight fire with fire especially if they are complete fuckwits and they seem to want to have a power trip. Again I'll make sure that I'm in the right before going ballistic...like the bit about making the perpetrator the fool...always works for me...

DBYeah, and don't forget to look really dangerous when your doing it.

Or failing that you could always take it international. ;)

[CookMySock]

is uni grounds and the buildings on uni ground public property??A place opened to the public for their general or specific-purpose use is a public place. Unless you have been told otherwise by a sign, or in writing, or on privately owned property with a trespass order, then you are entitled to be there provided you are not breaking the law, or can be easily construed as breaking the law.

If you are walking down a public street, NO PERSON can tell you you should not be there, not even the police. They can ASK you to go elsewhere, but they cannot force you to, unless you are obstructing them in the course of their work, or disobeying some road law or other law, then they can fine or arrest you for it, but they cannot remove you unless you are under arrest, and mostly the feds dont want the paperwork and the comeback unless they KNOW it will stand up in a court of law, so they will hesitate at arresting you and just tell you "look mate, piss off!", and which point you tell them "no" again, lol.

It doesnt matter greatly anyways what is legal or not, just tell them what YOU want to happen and usually you can bluff it past them. Its all just a game.

Once again, you're full of horseshit.
Uni campus is Private property, if they ask you to leave, and you refuse, they have the right to escort you off the premises using reasonable force if necessary.

Go back to your bush-lawyering.

[Real_Wolf]

Its true, the uni owns the campus.

Don't believe me? Check your university ID, it is what entitles you to be on the premises. At any time they can ask you for your ID, and should you fail to provide it to them, they can escort you off campus, forceably if you refuse

[CB ARGH]

school's gay :Police:

[bomma]

yea uni is not a public place, but the reason i didnt cause a scene is simply that i had just started studyin (and i hope you're listening Justin in order to protect my reputation) for a 25% test that i was to sit the following day at 12pm and thought that causing a scene would take up more time which would mean that i would have to stay at uni for EVEN longer!!!

but im seriously peeved by this incident and feel there is no point compalining to any "supervisors" coz wtf are they going to do?!?! Will they ACTUALLY get off their assses and "investigate" the matter?!?! HELL FUCKING NO!!! they're just going to say shit like "if there have been complaints then we have no choice" and "levels 3 and 4 are quiet space only" FUCK YOU!!!!

so glad the olympics are over - the number of people who bring up a word document (last saved over an hour ago - i'd been watching) when you ask if they can watch olympics somewhere other than the engineering labs:angry2:

unfortunately the kate edgar building is in no way a public place. several people DO infact have tresspass noticed against them, if asked and unable to show student ID you WILL be escorted from the premises, and the area of the uni owned by AUSA actually won't allow police on the premises unless invited

and of course they can disable your computer account for a week or more, effectively ruining you if you can't retrieve files before a deadline

Another approach is to ask them "do you PAY to be here?" and when they so no, tell them "Well I DO so butt out."

Another one, "Are you PAID to be here?". "yes". "Well pull your head in and get on with your job then."

haha. epic buddy. think about it like this. crappy job, late nights, and a bunch of punk ass kids that don't understand the meaning of "quiet study place", or turds that grab a comp and disappear for hours on end... she prob doesn't get paid much, doesn't get laid much, and believes kfc to be her closest companion. she's got issues. u did good. point out teh obvious, and let it brew in her mind. (unless she no longer has a conscience, which is prob the case seeing as she works at the uni), in which case, there's not much u can say or do about it... i dunno... wear a belaclava one day, run into IC and egg her. haha... it'd be fun, funny, and u'd feel better after it (along with about 300 other kids that've been verbally woman-handled by her).
