raison

Hey, now that I have a blog I can vent my anger about stuff that happened when I didn't have an outlet. So here I go.

I love coffee, and this one friend of mine told me about a place on campus where the guy manning the counter NEVER let her pay for coffee because she is a Muslim and so is he. How nice, I thought. Applying the rules of formal logic, I deduced that because my friend is a Muslim (to be abbreviated as M), she gets free coffee at this particular café (F). Hence, if M is true, so is F.

M ----> F

Armed with this powerful theory, I hypothesized that since I'm a Muslim I would get the same treatment as my friend. I went to said café, ordered a large mocha, and waited. When this gentleman came over to the cash register, I waited some more. Just stood there, moron-like. After about 30 seconds elapsed like this, I realized that I would have to pay, so I did.

This experience not only led me to reject my hypothesis, it made me hate that guy with passion. I mean, he probably has a crush on my friend and was too chicken to tell her that (she's very attractive). I swear, I've bought coffee from this guy many times after that, and he's never even offered me free coffee. Jerk.

On a completely different note, what's with people on the bus who sit on the aisle seat and don't scoot over to the empty window seat when other people need a place to sit? I kid you not, I could just slap them silly.

"Peace" doesn't sound like an appropriate ending to this entry, but whatever.
