I'm still somewhat bothered by the image that all of the guys just STAND outside her office all the time, since they always seem to be there when one gets turned down or yells out to someone else. Engie just happened to be in earshot and so did whoever Scout had yelled at earlier in the story. That just seems kind of too convenient for the sake or writing humor, to me. Because if it ISNT for humor, it's fairly creepy.
