So today, as I was practicing the art of procrastination while I was supposed to be studying for my English exam, I decided to check my university email account - which I never do because it's full of useless spam and dumb adverts. But, because I was doing everything other than studying books, I thought, 'Hey! I haven't checked that in a long time, why not kill a few minutes with that?'
So I logged onto it with my high-tech, extremely complicated password (see, every other university student was given their ID number as their password, but me? No, I was special enough to recieve this crazy ass 10 digit compilation of lower case letters, numbers AND upper case letters. Lucky me!) to find tons of unread emails from way back in April 2010 - all spam, and all useless.
However, as I was nonchalantly scanning through the subject lines of these emails, because my mind was screaming at me, 'Anything but studying please!' I came across a subject line that tingled my nerves and make me hastily open the email to read further:
'FW: Picture Theives'
Now, because I'm a normal person living a basic and somewhat dull life with little-to-no vast excitement, I found it intriguing. Oooh, some theives on camera? How cool!
Also, because of the society to which I live in, I immediately imagined two men, dressed in all black, with balaclava's covering their faces. Oh, and gloves - you know, to prevent any fingerprints from being traced.
However, to my dismay, when I opened up the first picture of five (and three videos!), I see two individuals - one male and one female, in normal clothes. I was, admittedly, very disappointed.
And then, with my cynical mind at hand, I started to judge them.
Firstly, how dumb can you really be to not think of hiding your faces? Every person on the planet knows that universities, much like every other facility on the planet, invests in thousands of surveillence cameras. And, much to your pea-sized brain's knowledge, people are watching and recording copies of the surveillence footage all the time. I swear, I took a look at these videos that are attached to the email - at one point the girl is laughing, whilst, what looks like her talking on the phone, and looks directly at the camera. Like, "Smile! You're on candid camera!"
And, some other random university student walks right passed them! Can you imagine that scene right there?
Dumbass girl speaking on the phone just as the random dude walks passed: "Like, oh my word my friend you have no idea what I just did with my awesome boyfriend! We, like, totally stole a picture! In a frame! How cool are we?! No, girl, you shut up! Right? Soooo cool."
Secondly, you guys steal a picture? I mean, really? Of all the things your miniscule little mind can think of stealing is a picture? Really? Do you even realise the amount of valuables within university walls? And you steal a picture?
The intelligence of people these days really scares me.
Though, it did give me some entertainment during my, what was supposed, to be five minute email check and turned into thirty minute blog post.
I can only wonder where they decided to hang that picture...
