And once again

It never ceases to amaze me that even though the door to the computer lab is shut (I have to keep it unlocked in case an employee comes in), there's a sign on the door that says "Closed", and there are no lights on, that students will still walk their asses in here and sit down at a computer. Then they look at me like I'm the idiot when I politely inform them that the lab indeed, is CLOSED.

WTF people, wtf?

Well, it's pretty simple, you got some a$$hats that feel the rules don't apply to them. Bust 'em. You don't even need to be polite about it. Call campus security.

Nah. I suspect that they're simply operating on auto-pilot and aren't even consciously thinking about where they're going.

Unfortunately, they still tend not to have the humility to realise their error and back out apologising, but most people interacting with tech support have insufficient humility. :-)

That is an optimistic appraisal of the situation, indeed. But, if they don't have the humility to admit error, that would tie in to my a$$hat corollary.
