kittykat Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 does anyone who goes to college/school/uni notice that when people walk into a class room/lecture hall people never sit next to people they dont know unless they have to - for instance if there are some seats free on a row but there is a spare row behind one will always go on the spare row. I always find this very antisocial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosherchik Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Yeah I got that today! I dont know anyone in my TV Drama lecture and there was a free seat on either side of me which were there purely to pile bags on! Maybe I just smell! Having said that yesterday I made friends with some blokes in my Writing for film class straight away! the thing about uni is, people tend to make friends with whoever they stayed in halls with then dont socialise with anyone else!!!

In chemistry there is sommat called the Pauli Exclusion Principle - its a bit like people filling a train. They sit individually unless all the seats have one person on them already or they are of opposite sex / fancy the other [like electrons with opposite spins] - I loved how my inorganice chem lecturere described stuff on our degree course http://www.iupac.org/reports/1999/7110minkin/p.html#pauli_exclusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find this very antisocial. That's just inbred into you. Nature. Normal - it's your personal space. You carry it around with with you all the time wherever you go - like an invisible bubble enclosed around you. I'm doing a psychology course and it is one of the subjects covered. Fascinating stuff. Don't even try to sit next to me!! Argh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
