i hate the magazine hoarder

When eating a meal by yourself in the cafeteria, it’s really nice if you have a quality magazine to read.  I’m lucky that my dining hall subscribes to a decent amount of very diverse magazines.  I read Newsweek, Time Magazine, The New Yorker, The Economist, Wired, The Nation, Rolling Stone, The Advocate, Ebony, Esquire, and Men’s Journal on a weekly to monthly basis.  Recently I was flying solo in the cafeteria for lunch and was looking forward to the newest issue of Newsweek.  Sadly, I couldn’t find it on the magazine rack.  No other new or decent magazines were available.  It was frustrating.  Where could they have been?  While on the walk back to my booth, I discovered exactly where all of those periodicals were hiding.  I saw a girl reading the Newsweek I wanted, which by itself is perfectly acceptable, but then saw the stack of magazines next to her.   Unacceptable!  Stupid magazine hoarder.
