Fakes...

And I don't just mean guns. One of the girls in my hallway last night screamed at around 1:00. Though my roommates and I were too scared to investigate, the hushed laughter and scurrying feet that followed the scream were fairly good indications that it was not the real thing. Fake screaming in such a situation is not only disrespectful, it is also inconsiderate to those around you who are already on edge. As the incident with the "permanently disabled" firearm showed us, it is sometimes very difficult to tell the difference between what is real and what is faked...please don't exacerbate the problem by intentionally implanting fear in people.
