So out of all the places in the library you three girls could have gone to have your group study session/gossip festival, you chose to come to the table closest to me the SILENT STUDY area. Your three are dumb and pathetic did you not see the signs posted EVERYWHERE.

Where’s a tranquillizer gun when you need it?!?
Here is yet another example as to why stun guns are not available to the general public…
This is where you toss paper airplanes and such at them until they leave. If they fail to notice, insert darts into the airplanes and try again.
Go to the circ desk and ask them to tell them to STFU (or you could just tell them to stfu yourself, and if that doesn’t work go to the circ desk). I’ve done both and it does usually solve the problem.
Libraries are becoming less and less of a safe zone for quiet seekers. There should be stricter rules, they’re not in a fucking arcade.
im sure it was crucial for them to recap how drunk they got last night and who went home with who. whos pregnant by someone elses boyfriend, and the new skirt they found, paid a ridiculously high price for it and how trendy that makes them.
so for you to complain about the noise they were making is just stupid. study at home. everywhere has become the domain of the obnoxious.
ask them if they realize that they’re in a library, which is a quiet area. and if they do realize that they are, tell them then to shut the fuck up.
i’ve done it and it works.
I’m not sure how long ago zZz went to Acadia so I’m not sure if he can relate, but when I was there, the main floor of the library was the “non alcoholic university bar,” although I’m sure people would bring liquor in their nalgene bottles.
Seriously it was like a club with the lights turned on. Unfortunately that was where the vast majority of the computer desks were and the individual study rooms. Thank fuck for earphones.
But even sneeze on the fourth floor and you’d get a lynch mob trying to throw you out the window. Anyway, my point: most university libraries will have places for loud studying and those for quiet studying. If they’re being cunts in the quiet area stab them in the face with a pencil.
When I went to Dal, this was never a problem. The Killam is a dungeon. I used to go up to the 4th floor in the classics section, in the back corner. I didn’t see a soul for hours. Best library to study in of all time.
