War is Over!: Students waiting for the other to pull out their OneCard finally concede

After a 14-day standstill, two students who have been staking out the Lastman’s Bad Boy Furniture Study Complex (LBBFSC) have finally moved on with their lives. 

Sybil Reyez and Tyler O’Neil first approached the building two weeks ago and found the door locked. Neither one wanted to go to the effort of pulling their OneCards out. 

“I figured that eventually someone would come out of the building,” said Reyez, a third-year Interior Design student. 

According to a research study conducted by the university, the LBBFSC is TMU’s least trafficked building. Few students know of its existence as it was originally constructed as a study space beside Oasis Aqualounge, a water-themed nudist venue. 

It has become further dilapidated by the financial problems afflicting Lastman’s Bad Boy Furniture which declared bankruptcy earlier this year. 

Experts say neither student should be blamed as they were merely following TMU protocol of waiting for someone else to open the door. 

“My OneCard was all the way in my backpack,” said O’Neil, a fourth-year Performance student. “I just know that it was buried underneath all my water bottle and sweater and laptop and laptop charger… it’s- it’s a lot.” 

Reyez had a similar thought process. In an interview with CityNews Reyez said, “my wallet was in my back pocket which is actually very difficult to get stuff out of. I was also afraid of my Salad King coupon falling out.” 

Both students claim that they expected the other to grow a pair and pull out their OneCard to open the door. Neither did and the two stood there awkwardly avoiding eye contact for 14 days. 

The siege on the LBBFSC ended when a custodian entered the building, allowing Reyez and O’Neil to slip in after him. 

While the standstill is over, tensions between the two students have not lessened. 

“Honestly I thought that Tyler would do something eventually,” Reyez said. “ But I guess chivalry is dead.”
