reasons or lack thereof

Always present, rarely spoken

Between my only two classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I while away the hour and a half in the nearest campus computer lab. With every student taking class at this campus given a username and password upon enrollment, we keep our internet records straight and ensure that any unauthorized activity is properly handled.

Today I went to my usual tucked-in-the-corner computer and sat down to the sign-in screen. Now with our sign-in and sign-out system, the screen keeps the last username to sign out in the box to fill out. Today my screen read "Username: Women are stupid".

I'm signed in, and I'm writing now; but there's something unexpectedly painful about seeing that message. Knowing that the person (I can only assume a man seeing as most women's suspicion of other females is so rarely so intense as to inspire this sort of effort) had to sign out and deliberately type the words before leaving-- I mean, seriously, this was needless and impulsive, not the move of an intelligent person.
