So I am attending BarCamp LA today. Despite being here too early, running on little sleep and stressing out over the normal end of semester issues I had high hopes for today.
I had met some really cool people in the morning who had interesting points of view.
However as the day progressed the free loaders appeared, along with their lack of respect.
I call them free loaders because I feel a handful of these people are here for the free shirt, food, and beer.
All the talks are suppose to take place in designated rooms at designated times.
There was nothing I wanted to listen to so I decided to stay in the same spot I had been in since 9:30 this morning. I was working on a research paper and I was on a roll.
Out of no where these guys ask me to move. They want to do an unscheduled talk right where I am. I say no, because I already have all my stuff here I am situated and why should I move for them?
Out of no where all these gross men come trying to sit where I am. I tell them time and time again that the seats are taken and I do not want to hear there talk so they should go in a designated room like everyone else here!
I am now surrounded by fat guys who apparently believe deodorant is optional and touching my diet coke can where I drink from is acceptable. I get that BarCamp LA is free, we are all here to learn. But when a fifty something year old man tells me to shut up because he is listen when no one is talking, while half sitting on my chair, shit is about to hit the fan. Dont try and take advantage of me just because I am female and sitting by myself.
There were many other seating areas these men could have utilized. However they saw a female sitting alone and assumed they could over power me. Think again. What really pissed me off; this group took chairs from an area where a man was sitting alone and brought them to where I was sitting to have their meeting. Why not ask the man to leave or take over his area?
Furthermore I am going to charge these assholes a viewing fee if they keep starting at my tits.
Moral of the story when there is free food, clothes and beer there will be assholes probably not wearing deodorant.
Never underestimate the bitchiness of a sleep deprived college student.
&&& NO you cannot use my power strip!
