So it’s been a couple hours since this “incident,” but I’m still thinking about it and peeved.

Today I got to class early because we had an exam review session. This meant I’d be in the same seat from 12-2:40, so I decided to plug in my laptop. Normally I don’t have to, but I didn’t want to risk my battery dying and losing all my notes. I arrived early, plugged in my laptop, and started taking notes.

The lecture hall I was in has dual outlets between every 2 sets of chairs. However, the first two rows do not have outlets and have to plug into the ones behind them. So I plugged into the outlet behind me.

My cord was laying across my lap when, all of a sudden, I start to feel a tugging on my power cord. It starts digging into my arm and jiggling my laptop more and more. I turn around to see if someone tripped on it. Instead, a girl who had arrived late is sitting in the row behind me with my cord, unplugged, in her hand. Oh I SEE. She was trying to get my attention by yanking on my cord hard enough to pull my laptop right off my desk.

So I turn around to see what needed my attention. OH. My computer is UNPLUGGED. Perhaps it came unplugged on its own somehow? No.

Fuckingcuntbitchsittingbehindme: (flailing my unplugged power cord in her hand like some kind of dirty sweatsock that she can’t be bothered to touch) “Yeah I need this outlet so I need you to plug this in somewhere else.”

Me: “Umm… do you want me to fuck you up? Because I will fucking cut you if you do not plug my laptop in right-the-fuck-now. Who the fuck do you think you are that you can just unplug people’s shit? I pay almost $30 fucking thousand a year to have access to one fucking outlet and if you don’t back off, you won’t live to see graduation. Oookaaaaaaaaaay….”

All I could muster was a dirty look and then I had to get up, mid lecture, and plug my cord into a different outlet. Why she could not just use the open outlet on the other side of her, I do not know. But I am still pissed. Who just unplugs someone else’s computer because she feels like it? Because she wants to use the outlet right under her and not the one a foot further away?

I told John and I’m pretty sure his head exploded. He’s still asking me about it, still angrier than even I am. Which is pretty funny, considering I’m the hot-tempered one and I’ve only seen him truly “mad” maybe four times ever.

I promised him that I would not let anyone walk all over me again like that, and if anyone ever did that to me again I’d give them “what for.”  We’ll see I guess…
