<p>So here’s my experience trying to get a locker in the art building 4 weeks after classes have started…</p>
<p>Me: “Hi. I’m here to get a locker. I know that I’m suppose to have two art classes to get a locker. I only have one, but the class requires that I bring a ton of stuff. I’ve noticed that there’s still a lot of open lockers… and I would just like to see if I could get one.”</p>
<p>Locker-dude: “You have to be enrolled in atleast two art classes. You could pair up with someone and share a locker.”</p>
<p>Me: “I don’t even know anyone here, though. I’m majoring it something totally different and this is the first time I’ve taken an art class at this school… Plus, it’s 4 weeks into the semester and I’m assuming that everyone that wants a locker has already found a way to get one…”</p>
<p>Locker-dude: “… you don’t have any friends…?” (said in a condescending way)</p>
<p>Me: “I have plenty of friends, just none that take art classes.”</p>
<p>Locker-dude: “Well I’m sorry, but I can’t get you a locker unless you buddy up.”</p>
<p>Me: “Okay well, is there a lot of lockers left?”</p>
<p>Locker-dude: “Yeah, a good amount.”</p>
<p>Me: “And are you getting anyone else asking for one at this point?”</p>
<p>Locker-dude: “Not really.”</p>
<p>Me: “So can I have one? It’s not like I’m taking totally unrelated classes. I have an art class… I carry a portfolio around…”</p>
<p>Locker-dude: “Try buddy-ing up with someone in your class.”</p>
<p>… At that point I walked out. This guy is a student, put in charge on giving out lockers. Am I being a turd, or is this totally ridiculous. Yes, this is pretty much how the convo went, so It’s not very bias at all. </p>
<p>Needless to say, the art class I’m in is pretty small. I made an announcement at the beginning of class that I was in need a locker… and no one really wanted to help me (probably thinking I’d steal their stuff once I knew their combination… i don’t know).</p>
<p>I take public transit so I have to haul the portfolio along with all my art supplies around ALL DAY. very lame, especially as I’m walking past some unused lockers.</p>
<p>I’m just here to vent, thank you.</p>
