What Grinds My Gears: Special Edition



In this special edition of “What Grinds My Gears”, The DG Blog has round up the most memorable quotes from the University of Bridgeport’s newspaper, The Scribe. The Scribe, which has its own “What Grinds My Gears” column, has been around for a year now thanks to the creative idea from Althea Benloss and The DG Blog’s own, Denise Gotay for compiling the quotes. Enjoy.


“My biggest problem is the slow process of the financial aid department. They have so many deadlines for the students to hand in their documents and information to be processed in a timely manner, but even when it’s done correctly the process is still delayed and causes more frustration for the students (and possibly family) and providers of the students who fund the student’s finances during school.”
-Stephanie Stancey

“I don’t understand why school tuition goes up, but not dining dollars. We’re paying more to eat so I want more dining dollars.”
-Samantha Rodrigues

“The price of intuition grinds my gears.”
-Kirsten “Pebbles” McDowell

“When college students act like they’re in high school.”
-Wideline Millien

“When people yell at the children on the bus for crying like it makes it any better. I mean, if you stop yelling maybe, just maybe, the baby would stop crying.”
-Trisha Bartholomew

“When people assume that the girl I hang with is automatically my girlfriend. Can you try and think past the lesbian mentality? Lesbians have straight friends too.”
-Denise Gotay

“I hate when people stare at me as if they never saw a fat, black girl before. If you have something to say please don’t just make me your television show.”
-Trisha Bartholomew

“When you walk into a store and you find any empty shelf where your purchase isn’t or a bunch of expired things.”
-Shanna Nguygen

“Dumb people asking dumb questions of Facebook. If my status says I’m doing something obviously I’m doing it.”
-Kristen “Pebbles” McDowell

“When people put their whole life story on Facebook. Who cares about what your life is like?”
-Teresa Wheeler
