How can people be so daft?

A family member of one of my professors died yesterday and as a result, class was cancelled. Today, in another class for my program, we were just about to begin the seminar. Prior to this class, one nice friend of mine was passing around a card to sign so we can pay our respects to our professor's family member so we can try to make her feel better, when she arrives next week. Okay, here is the ridiculously arsehole part of this story. So back in the other seminar, yeah? My friend decides to pass the card around so others can sign regardless of if they had her or not. My friend even explained with a nice smile that it would be nice to sign even if they never had her. Everything is going well until the card goes to two girls in front of me (who I never talk to) because I do not really like their style. ARE YOU -blam!-ING SERIOUS? They just looked at the card and one said to the other "We don't need to sign this because it doesn't matter" This is coming from girls who have been 3-4 years in my program now. Therefore, my initial reaction was that they never had said professor. They just passed it around as if it was nothing. Every single person's name was on it except them. How can you be so cold/daft? Holy shit, man and these people got in this hard program. Haha, wow. I thought they were nice people except for their style, but Jesus Christ. I honestly looked at them with a mean look and so did others. They knew we were disappointed in them. After class, I decided to be brave and approach them. I asked, "Why didn't you sign the card?" They replied, "Yes we did" Ha-ha, no, no you did not, is what I said. They then said we have nothing against you so leave us alone. I was brave and called them shit for not signing the card. The best part is that people agreed with me. I hope they gained something from me, and when I told my friend, she said they were horrible people. Every student might see this professor every day, considering our program is damn competitive so not everybody gets in. This is just pure stupidity. WHY would some people ever do this?

  • I never sign cards at work if I've only known of the person rather than actually know them. Things like leaving cards, congratulations on your baby cards, marriage cards, anything like that doesn't get signed unless I actually knew the person rather than just passed by them and I fully expect the same in return if people decide to pass a card round for me. The last thing I'd want is an empty signature on a card from someone I've never or hardly talked to. Maybe the girls in your brave little escapade feel the same way. Treat others as you wish to be treated and all that.
