Rich, spoiled, or just stupid? All of the above, maybe.

This took place at University of Southern California.

Since it was U$C, I’m going with stupid because that’s a prerequisite for the place. Rich and spoiled are in abundance there, too, but are not nearly as universal as stupid.

Yeah, I’m going with “stupid” for this one.

“Wait… what? I can’t, like, use my, you know, laptop as an umbrella-thingy? No one told me to not, like, get it wet. Won’t it just, you know, dry out?”

The red laptop … looks like the solid top-side is facing down, and the bottom (any ventilation holes there?) is facing the rain?

[@RonCam] I’m sure she had a good reason, like: “It catches more water that way, so my hair stays drier!”
