As some of you are aware, several of the first year grad students are social morons, who also are incredibly dull and tiresome. And they come to class an hour early and talk about the most uninteresting and inappropriate things imagineable - in very loud, distracting voices. You'd think they'd know better, or take clear hints to stop or close the door, but no ... their endless awful, loud chit-chat continues to permeate the hall.
Today's topics and comments have included - is law school like Legally Blonde?, "she had sex with a dog", a mist-deep discussion of graduation speeches, and talk about whether or not you'd be a good heroin addict (which apparently depends on whether or not you are afraid of needles!).
What is with these people?

Given how everyone here does sincerely feel about that guy - that's a topic I can approve of. But even on that - couldn't they do it a little more quietly?
