What funny things have you seen in the library?

DrIndy

This thread is a blatant copy of the "Where in Trinity" except here, you post on what library you have been in and what funny things you saw other people do whilst there......

I was in the Ussher briefly today and popped into the Ussher computer room where I met a load of people I knew. I then proceeded to attempt to wave/obscene gesture someone I knew through the glass - but EVERYONE except the person concerned thought I was just some loony.....

Pinky is officially not around....... Hmmmm.......

Agent Smith

John

OH GOD THIS IS A BORING THREAD..

Sort of a good idea but it's not being picked up on very well whatsoever..
I'm gonna change the title.


If it doesn't perk up I'm closing it..

Er versues a discussion of where we are in tcd is amazingly interesting?

John

I once saw my reflection in the library, that was amusing

Calm Horizons

I once saw a guy studying; that was pretty far-out.

DrIndy

Y'know, I was milliseconds away from doing that one day, I had the plane ready and all, but it was only my wide-eyed fresher's (it was the third week of term) terrible fear of disapproving scowls from librarians that kept me back..

Agent Smith

where is the love.


i too was in the liabary today, (usher) altho it was only to return a book.

I apologise for potentially starting a lame thread - I hoped that this would engender a love of the library where concerns do not rest solely on study - but that of study of the rest of humanity that surrounds you. Their strange quirks, their means of trying not to study. The sleeping (snoring!) at desks, the muttering, the quirks when you look up and see some sort of strange ritual. I always enjoy the study of psychology, and the ideal petri dish is the forced study of those that surround you......

Or just the bizarre.....

Perhaps that will be enhanced as the crazedness ensues as imminent examinations approach.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Chick

I ain't been in no libraries of late, but last time I checked ain't nothin' funny in there, what's changed! :cool:

Agent Smith

well, they all have books,

and i discovered how to get into the pc room in the usher!

Chick

There's a pc room in the Usher :eek:


That's how often I frequent the BLU!

Agent Smith

ushers the best liabary to get distracted in, Ever time i go there, there's people talking, lissening to music, and theres often football games on outside.

Chick

I think the Leckys the worst, admittedly I too am one of those people who breezes along talking aloud... but everyone else does it!!

sleepingbeauty

nothing interesting ever happens in the hammo library, people are always really studying in there :eek:

DrIndy

You should stand up and shout at the top of your voice.....

"I'm studying!" and then sit down......

I heard that a month or two ago, there was a gerbil or hamster or some such rodent set loose in the Ham and the Library staff had to set up traps for it. Last I heard of the little critter was that it got stuck under a bookcase. Anyone know any more about it?

DrIndy

it probably survived off the sandwiches of the somnolent engineers who were sonorously "studying" in the Ham.....

Anyone see the Trinity cats up there?

Way back when I was a fresher some poor girl got stuck in the lift in the Berekely for an hour or two. The horror of which you won't be able to comprehend unless you've ever actually used that lift.

It WAS quite amusing tho :rolleyes:

DrIndy

You should fart in the lift just before you hop out and then impishly grin as it goes to another floor to pick up a suprised punter on the long ascent up the ussher...........

Kevin_rc_ie

that was terrible about the hamster type rodent. poor little guy.

hey sb how the exams going? all scholarly?

My favourites.. for simplicity and originality:

2) Shake the person's hand when he/she enter the lift.

19) Stare, grinning, at another passenger for a while, and then announce: "I've got new socks on!"

36) Play the harmonica. (After reading this I'm gonna give a shot at learning a blues riff on a harmonica I just found)

53) Without letting anyone see, press the emergency stop button. Act surprised and start talking to yourself "its ok, it wasnt your fault you killed your family. It was SATAN, damm you SATAN! DAMN YOU!!!" Then press the stop button again and act as if nothing has happened.

71) Suggest to the other passengers that you all should play a game of twister. Then get out the board and lie it on the floor

98) While the doors are opening, hurriedly whisper, "Hide it...quick!" then whistle innocently.
