"Don't just complain, take action"

Letter to the Editor


I have a little quip about Meghan Groth's article, "Pick your nose at home" (Nov. 14). She goes on to explain her annoyances about several students which bother her, for various reasons such as: people text messaging during their classes, a girl whose shoes are removed, people picking each others pimples, etc.

My question to her is that if it bothers you so much, then why don't you do something about it?

If you can't concentrate on a lecture because some girl is text messaging a friend, either tell them that it distracts you, or move up to the front of the class. Stop crying and complaining about something you choose nothing to do about.

Meghan Groth quotes, "I am fed up with classmates being rude and have nothing but contempt for inappropriate displays of disrespect for fellow students." Well I am fed up of people who have nothing better to do, other than to complain about people's tendencies, while at the same time, don't have the audacity to either say something to them, or move up in the front of the class where there wouldn't be any exposure to those "annoyances."
