how not to behave in the library

When I wake up on a Saturday morning with a hangover and drag myself out of bed to meet my friends at the university library to do some studying, I fully expect to actually get some studying done.

It was all going well for the first few hours when we were in our private study room, but then when we went to another section of the library, I met the biggest idiot of the week. Now, the library has places for group work where you can talk to each other, and then it has other places for silent study. This was one of those silent areas. So anyway, I sat down and started opening my books, when I noticed the guy next to me reading out his essay/notes/whatever out loud.

I tried to ignore it but then I found myself learning more about his subject, which appeared to be about how to make yourself look like a flying turd, than my own. Five minutes later the guy appeared to suffer from a case of fucktarditis and began to repeat his words with a few drops of stuttering for extra effect. He saw me giving him the evils and yet carried on.

“…may be demonstrated, d-d-demonstrated, may be demonstrated…”

Fuck off.

I looked over and he was rocking backwards and forwards reading out his work. Everyone around him was obviously getting annoyed but no one said anything, so I decided it was time to make my move. N-n-no idiot is going to take away precious studying time from my friends and I during this month of woe.

I opened up a random page in my book and started reading out loud, copying the guy with his random repeating and rocking. A bunch of people started to laugh quietly to themselves, and after I was almost done with my first paragraph about to move on to the second, the guy got up and left.

I win, motherfucker.

    Hah pwned.

    The library at our uni has a magical place, known as level 4, where for years you could go up there and find total silence where you could revise your way through the month of woe. Now level 4 got a bit famous after some intelligent wanker put a group on facebook extolling the virtues of this joyous place..now when you go there you find idiots playing basketball up and down the aisles, stupid bitches on their phones talking about what they plan on doing tonight and the silence is gone forever. I weep inside as that place helped me get through my exams and I fear this year the magic will be gone.

    Since when the fuck did libraries become ‘cool’ places to hang out and chat anyways, I thought only the nerds like me chose to spend time there. Fuckers.

    LOL @ you mocking him. I feel a little sorry for him, though. How embarrassing. Maybe he didn’t realize what he was doing? But if he needed to talk while studying, he should have taken himself elsewhere. At my uni., there were a dozen different places in a dozen different buildings where I liked to study. I was in the habit of almost randomly picking one. All of them were (well all of the places that were supposed to be quiet) were always quiet.

    Haha, I’d have never been able to do that! I just sit and take it; I have no guts. Good work though, you showed him :P Why the rocking and stuttering, though?

    Um, perhaps he was a little on the “Simple” side. How very kind of you.
