Rant

[AlohaPolynesian]

So I am at the library between classes on the computer. I like to come to a certain computer lab because it is super quiet and it is big so there is always a computer available. Right now it is very empty, maybe only 10 other people in here. Then some loud girl comes in talking on her cell phone and sits down NEXT TO ME! Her perfume is taking over and she keeps texting on her phone which is NOT on silent and it is going off every 2 seconds when she gets a message. Then she is online chatting away and laughing hysterically at the computer. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

OK, rant over.

With a look of disgust get up and move.

Tell her that the last person on her computer probably has swine flu, and he coughed all over the keyboard. Then spray her down with Lysol.

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Hahahahahaha both are GREAT ideas!

UGH, how rude! I guess she never learned that you are supposed to be quiet in a library.

Ugh!

I would probably say something to her and if that didn't work I would say something to librarian, but I'm kinda mean about stuff like that.

what about pretending to fart loudly and say you had some bad mexican food last night and hold your stomach like you're in pain. I'm sure she'll move then.

I found as I've gotten older I have no patience with rude people and usually call them on it. I'm usually a very nice & helpful person but when you're inconsiderate to me and my family, I find just saying something usually gets them to see someone elses point of view. If not the librarian will come along and warn them/reinforce the rules.

I would start googling "swine flu symptoms" and mutter comments under my breath like "oh my gosh, I've got that symptom" or "oh, no I've got that symptom, too." Then ask her to feel your forehead as you start coughing.

look over her shoulder, annoyingly (is that a word?).
If she ever gets annoyed say, "you were being soooo loud I thought you wanted me to be involved".

I'd just move if it bothered me.
