Dear Lord, just when I thought this place was cleared out so I could get some printing done in peace without interruptions or conflicts over copier use, a co-worker who's on vacation showed up after hours to look for some textbooks to copy. And brought her husband. And gradeschool age kid. I am never getting out of here.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ooh, I clicked on ita's link. But I like this shirt, it calls to the evil biologist in me. Or something.
I also like the one that says "Medium Pimpin'" and shows some coins...

Happy Birthday Tom!
The most annoyed I get at tourists is school groups where the teacher will tell the kids to gather at the bottom of the escalator or to get on the train and stay right by the door. (I've seen both of these happen, multiple times, with groups of more than ten kids.) And then they complain that people in the city are so rude because they get pushed. No, you're being rude by purposely having a large group of people block the way of several hundred commutors.
In high school, my route back to the Metro from crew practice used to take me right past the tourist trolley, ALL of whom would have their cameras out and rolling. Who cares about the Kennedy Center on your left, there's a sweaty native girl down there!!
Tom! Happy happy birthday!
