[nabs-l] problem with college cafe

[Nathan Clark]

Dear Carin,
What makes me so mad about the situation is that I can't believe that
people are just so lazy that they can't take 2 seconds out of their
day and push their chairs in. It doesn't take much energy last time I
checked to use your arm and push the chair in.
Sincerely,
Nathan
