I think I am going to start avoiding the Arts tunnel. Everytime I pass through I get stop a dozen times by people asking me to take some survey or buy some item, or go on some pubcrawl, or give money, or whatever else they sell/advertize down there. I understand getting the word out for organizations and all, but if I am interested I will stop on my own! Usually I am already in a hurry, I do not want to be stop by some person just to be made to feel guilty over something that I should participate in or buy. People are turning into used car sales men. (or should I say used car sales people, that is more politically correct now.....)
Another beef I have is when poeple hand out flyer type things to you as you walk by. I completely understand their purpose, but do not force people to take them! You know they are just going to end up in the garbage 5 feet later!! Hand them out to the peopel who willingly take them!
However even after I complain over this, I know that I will still use the tunnels (even if it takes me longer to get to class) because it is sometimes way too cold out!!
