Librotards

humbert

What the hell is wrong with those people that go into the library and do nothing but snigger and chat and find it utterly hilarious when they receive a call, when of course their friends ssssh as loudly which is greated by more sniggering. Spoiled brats whose parents obviously let them away with murder when they were younger instead of giving them a good belting when they acted like little cunts(sorry, been reading a lot of twentymajor). Or the girls who think it's the place for a group study session and gab away without making the slightest effort to lower their voices. How the hell can people in their 20s still be acting like that!

Rant over. Feel better now.

I would agree, except that I was doing that earlier.

I dont study in the library for that reason. But with places like the student bar and the forum bar to congrgate you cant blame people for using the library as a social hangout . No matter how irritating it becomes.

What you should do Humbert is talk louder and hope it sets off a chain reaction of everyone trying to out do everyone else. When Librocop walks in he will be confronted with 90 students shouting random conversations at eachother.

See in Trinity those people have a library all their own, and all our Librocop cares about is water on tables. Phones can go off in front of him but he'll just tap the table and nod towards the water bottle. Even when it's empty. But and hence why I'm posting here now, I feel like a Librotard today. I've done **** all and it's really cold because the vents used for letting fresh air in during the summer have all blown open on the highest floors an its bloody freezing. argh. Stupid economics.

I want to murder them all. I also hate the tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap of those retards who sped the whole time on MSN Messenger.

If you want some serious quiet, go to the Earlsfort Terrace library. It's even quieter than it used to be since medicine moved out. There's no wirelsss though.

More important than that, what's the deal with the Plath quote under the Announcement?

Now that I have to spend time in the library rather than go to lectures and the like I have noticed that some people in UCD are obviously unaware of what exactly a library is supposed to be. I have never heard so many pointless phone conversations in my life, nor so many people who actually go to the library to watch movies on their laptops. Strange people.

Why don't people tell the others to shut up? They'll be so shocked they probably will fúck off somewhere else and stop disturbing you:)

When you live on campus you'll understand.

*snigger* I used to do that... well except for the laptop bit but thats only cos I didn't have one... wait for things to come

I've given up on the library this year. Its useless for studying in. Its much easier to wonder around your own building looking for an empty room so viva la eng block. I've even done it around the arts block... though I don't trust to leave all my stuff there when I want to go and get something

You should have named the thread "libretards" instead of "librotards" so that you could almost pronounce the first bit libry and then tards. This way you would still have retards spelled and pronounced correctly in there! I'm just a bitch though!

What annoys me is the people who clearly hate their laptops and feel it necessary to slam the keyboard as hard as possible when typing.

Ah, get over it lads. Great craic in the library before exams. Loads of messing, knicking people's drinks (people I know), leaving notes for people I don't know, toilet graffiti ....... the list goes on. They're only exams at the end of the day, if you can't have a bit of fun in the lead up then your taking them too seriously.

What about the people beside you and your friends? The people that may be using the library for its proper function. Its not very considerate of you

Doesn't mean i wasn't there to study, I did plenty of that too and did it for the vast majority of the time, so I don't think the people around me were too put out. Just some people can't sit in a library for 10 hours without distraction.

Then they probably shouldn't sit there for ten hours! Not just for that reason though, loads of medical reasons too, ingrown hairs on your ass, deep vein thrombosis, you'd probably get legionnaires from the air conditioning in there too!

1st year is for dossing in the library.
Final year is for telling the first years to shut up.

Postgrad is for getting a section of the library all to ourselves and not have to deal with it anymore!

I'm glad someone else is ranting about this too! I've wanted to so many times!

What I hate most of all are those who never turn off the sound on their laptops, so you're constantly listening to msn messenger-like sounds, and some even go so far as watching videos with loud laughing or screaming.

Seriously! You'd think people would be more considerate. Whatever happened to headphones?

I guess that's a fair enough reason to be honest.
