#* Don't begrudge people who leave hats and jackets on indoors given Williamtown's near arctic climate.
#** Hey, presumably it's not subzero ''indoors.'' (Well, in most [some?] buildings.) And baseball caps do very little to keep people warm. Regardless, even the military makes exceptions to this courtesy for temperature, religion, etc.
#* how How about receding hairlines? do Do those warrant keeping the hat on? or Or what about just a bad hairday? nasty Nasty scar? pimplePimple? Scalped by natives?
#* Especially if you are at an event at Chapin Hall, Brooks Rogers, Images, the theatre, etc. I can't see the play/concert/speaker/movie through your giant ushanka or that baseball hat jauntily propped so that it adds an additional five inches to your head, douchebag.
# Say hello to people you meet. If someone else says hello to you, respond in kind. Bonus points for smiling while saying hello.
#* If, by chance, the person before you has left laundry in the washer (we all do it once in a while) be so nice as to move the clothes into an empty drier, if available. You might as well, and it keeps them clean and away from the spilled bleach that is inevitably everywhere.
#** If you spill bleach in the laundry room, wipe it up.
# When putting up your tray in Greylock or Driscoll or Mission Dining Hall, gently place your silverware into the cloudy blue dishwashing solution, don't throw it in there and splash everyone around you. Oh yeah, and don't try to compost paper cups, saltine wrappers etc...there's a trash can for that.
# Compost your napkins and tea bags.
# When putting your tray away at any dining hall, have the courtesy not to cut other people who are waiting in line to do the same thing, even if you are rushed. If you can't resist the urge to cut people when you are rushed, give yourself enough time to put your tray away before you need to leave for class or whatever else you need to go to after a meal.
