Shoe commitments
Dear Robin,
In your wise opinion, what’s the best way to stay warm while walking from my car to class when staying fashionable by wearing cute shoes that aren’t in any way winter boots?
Sincerely,
Cold on campus
Hello,
Thank you for highlighting my wise opinions, but there’s no need to kiss ass; I will answer your superficial problems regardless. If you’re that dedicated to wearing your cute shoes regardless of the rain and snow, then wear winter boots from the moment you leave your house to the moment you walk into whichever building for your class, remove the boots and store in a tote bag (which you will now lug around all day), then slip on your little shoes. Of course, doing this is absolutely ridiculous because wearing warm shoes from the beginning of the day until the end of the day is simply a much more wise way to do things, but you don’t seem too interested in that.
Robin.
Gym jerks
Dear Robin,
At the gym, some people wear their headphones but still have music coming straight out of their phone. It’s super annoying and I don’t know how to tell them to quiet down their music so I can channel my zen on the elliptical. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Irritated ears
Hey,
These people are not just at the gym: they’re sitting in the comfy couch-chairs that are scattered around Building A, they’re on the top floor of the library, and they’re at the back of your VA 101 class. They need to be stopped. Next time you encounter one of these people, turn to them and say, “Your headphones don’t seem to be working.” Turn back around and continue your life, and hopefully they feel shame.
Robin
