I discovered today that in the library it is apparently acceptable to:
- Huff and puff and mutter ‘fucking bastards’ under your breath whilst looking at the internet.
- Consume a large packet of croissants and slurp coffee.
- Have an insanely loud mobile phone conversation along the lines of ‘NO! NO! CALL THE LANDLINE! THE LAND LINE! HE’S LOST HIS PHONE!’
- Have a stupidly loud stupid emergency siren ringtone.
- Spend 5 minutes arranging your coat and bag in an unbelievably noisy way. How is it possible to make so much noise with one article of clothing?
- In an almost empty library, sit at the computers closest to the man with his head in his hands trying to write on his laptop, and do all of the above.
