Irritating Matters in the Library

    Okay, with exams fast approaching and the library packed to bursting point every day, I would have thought that people would employ a little more consideration but NO! :mad:

    The lecky library is a complete and utter joke. I went in the other day to write out a presentation..15/20 mins work max and spent the entire time listening to various groups of people around me chat about their night out last night, their night out tonight or other meaningless conversation that would be much better suited to the pub.. It's a library for goodness sake! One girl sat on the edge of my desk while I was trying to work so that she could be closer to her chattering group of friends!. Irritation crossed over into rude here.

    Furthermore, people who leave their things on a desk, thus reserving it for themselves when they decide to come back are ridiculous! Okay, I can understand someone nipping to the bathroom/for a smoke/to get a breath of fresh air or something along those lines. But, the people who leave things there in the morning and disappear for hours on end are having a laugh!:eek:

    Also, people answering their phone in the library. Just because you're whispering does not make it okay!

    Perhaps the most irritating of all is people ripping chapters out of books. i had a particularly unfortunate encounter with such an act and was incredulous. It is so disrespectful and sneaky!!..

    So what annoys anyone else in the library? Surely I'm not overeacting :rolleyes:

    Yeah well someone should be. As well as all those things mentioned ^^ I also can't stand people eating. Some people even bring in apples... the noisiest food in the world.

    Carrots are noisier, raw ones anyway. I generally have my headphones in in the library, so some stuff is blocked out, but I hate it when people eat food that has a strong smell wafting about. Also when people walk about and chat, or talk across distances. When they're chatting together at a table I tend not to notice.

    Dump the stuff on the floor and take over the desk yourself. The 15-minute rule in the library states that any seat left unoccupied by someone for 15 minutes or more may be taken over by someone else.

    As for the rest of the problems - if they're really driving you spare and you don't feel able to tackle it yourself then bring it to the attention of Library Staff or one of the Guards to sort out.

    During a time of recession, even more competition is going to take place, more cheating and more ways of getting an unfair advantage, such as ripping a chapter out of a book. This is really something that has to be addressed more.

    A library shelf has to be fitted with super sensitive weighing scales to see what pages were ripped out. This might happen pretty soon ;)

    Sorry to be on a mad tangent, but I feel equally p1ssed off at the practise of ripping out chapters from library books.

    Well to be fair you have to be there for 15 minutes to know who has been gone for 15 minutes

    I know you did, that is what I was referring to.

    And what do you mean people have to be reminded? Wtf are you? The thought police? Could you be any more self-righteous?

    To OP, either tell them to STFU/go to librarian or get a blog and whinge about it there.

    Oh, please, what is boards for if not for cheaper-than-therapy whining?

    I would like to add additional moaning about a topic which I know damn well has been discussed previously here, yes, but - apparently earlier thread on stupid people being incapable of turning off the sound on their computers has not magically made things better. This power-of-the-internets thing is a myth.

    Also, groups who 'study' together -stupid, stupid idea. Just admit that you're incapable of sitting quietly and concentrating on something for any longer for five minutes before launching into your yapping, and go off and get a coffee or something. I've seen people come in, sit down, have a snack and whisper-talk to each other for half an hour, and then open a book. Special circle of hell, that's all I'm saying...

    right, I love this post because......all of the things that make me self conscious in the library went completely unnoted.. I always cringe when i unxip my bag (steady on...) , or unclick the folder or staple something, and as for tearing a page from my foolscap pad... that attracts the dirtiest looks....:D

    what sort of an idiot answers their fone in the library, go out to the stairs.
    and whats that bell that rings? sounds like someone's stuck in the lift....
    here's a novel idea (no pun intended), if you see someone ripping a page from a book report them. be on the offensive, I would without a second thought..even if it meant they'd be put out of college.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 663 ✭✭✭SimpleLogic


    people who leave there books on the table and bugger off for a few hours,are worse than those people on holidays who leave there towels on the deck chairs beside the pool all day. Really annoys me. Wish I had the gumption to walk around to each table and put all there stuff in a corner somewhere else.
    But I will just bitch about it instead :D

    YOu may joke but people are taking the piss lately.
    The noise from the orientation space alone can be so loud that we have to shout to be heard on the counter.
    I went down to request silence and found about 8 groups of people hanging around and shouting..not talking..shouting "And i was like,OH MY GOD..he was like,OH MY GOD".
    I caught six people on thier phones in half an hour yesterday,from now on they're ALL getting fined,its the height of ignorance.
    The library is supposed to be there for`people to study,especially now as we are coming up to exams.
    If you want to shriek "He was like" and "I was like" at the tops of your voices go outside and have some bloody cop on.
    The staff and other library users are sick of it.

    I dont really mind the leaving stuff on the desk thing. There isnt a shortage of desks just yet. Fair enough in like a week and a weekend you have to come in at like 9 to get a desk, but if you pack up everything and go for your lunch then you wont have a desk when you come back, and if your planning on spending the whole day here you have to leave to get some lunch at some stage, unless you want people eating their lunch in the library.
    I know if everyone followed the rule of bringing their stuff with them this wouldnt happen but unfortunely that just isnt realsitic. If i get my desk in the morning, im keeping it for the day, im not giving it to some lazy bum getting up at 1 and wandering in!

    also im aware that this topic has been done to death, but it does gather alot of importance around this time of the year!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭claire h


    Yeah, I'm more bothered by people who don't leave their stuff, but leave library books on the desk so that it's not quite clear whether they've gone for lunch or left for the day. It's like this weird liminal space of table-giving-up/holding-onto, as though they might want to reclaim that space later but don't want to commit to it...

    (Yes, some of us think too much about these things.) :)

    Well in the Hamilton at the moment there is pretty much a shortage of desks. You really need to keep an eye out walking around for places. But what annoys me the most is usually close to 50% of the unavailable spaces do not have people sitting there... just books and bags

    hah I think for the library books you just presume they've left. A lot of people who take books off the shelves don't put them back, they just leave them on the desks.

    I first saw it in first year, coming up to exams, bloody annoying especially 'cause it was a popular book and the only really good one on that poet. We got an e-mail from our head of school this year giving out about it, which shows how serious it's getting.

    I hate when people take books and leave them on their desks all day, it's really frustrating 'cause it means no-one else can get at them, even when the person is finished with them. I managed to counteract that by coming into the library at 9, getting the popular books, making notes and putting them back on the trolley before getting less popular books. Is there some sort of policy on the amount of shelf books someone can have on their desk? That could be handy for study time but I can see how it would piss people doing assignments and projects off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭raah!


    We could use some degsy over in the hamilton library, there's not even space to sit down there.

    I think also I shall begin to implement this sitting where peoples books are, and then telling them to go **** themselves. I won't really though, I don't think anyone likes doing that either, there is a direct contention with anohter person there, whereas leaving your books on a desk is just self serving.

    But do you not think we should be allowed to vent our feelings on the matter?. Regardless of how similar what we say is to what's been said, we're saying it, thereby making it different.

    I'm not so bothered by all this library situation though, the value of most of my lectures has descended towards that of revision sessions rather quickly, so it's not really necessary to come in.

    Yer it can be quite hard to study at home, too many distractions. And the library shouldn't be like that anyway, whether or not we have an alternative place of study.

    Re: ripping chapters out of books. I'm horrified people would do this. I'd like to think that if I ever saw someone do this I would speak up. Doesn't everyone read the library declaration that all readers are required to observe?

    "Promitto etiam quod neque ipse librum aliquem asportabo, sponte corrumpam, interscribam, aut alio quovis modo abutar, nec ab aliis haec fieri (quantum in me est) permittam"

    or

    "I further promise that neither will I myself take away any book nor designedly damage or write in or badly treat in any way whatever any book, nor so far as in me lies will I suffer such things to be done by others."

    Or think about the fines? "Mutilating a book, Library furniture or
    equipment = Reinstatement cost plus administration fee of €50
    plus fine up to €50" :eek:

    Unfortunately the library has to prove who ripped out the chapter. often books that have chapters ripped out are books that cannot leave the library so there is no record of who last used it. And many of the books that are missing chapters have been missing them for years.

    I've only come across it once in my time in college. One of the key books for an essay last year was missing a chapter.

    Though I did find a book that my friend needed for their essay in the middle of periodical.

    It seems to be worst in law.

    Some people are clueless that they are in an actual library... Half the time I think they just want somewhere to sit down they way they keep talking.

    Have never experienced the pulling pages out phenomenom but those people should be ashamed of themselves, they are books, leave them alone! If I saw someone doing that I would report them but then again people who do that kinda of thing are like smart murderers who don't get caught or leave clues. Unfortunately this problem is very hard to police I would say.

    I have no problem with people leaving their desk to go for an hour to lunch or out for a break etc because if you need a break because your library time isn't going to be effective otherwise then that is fair enough. I haven't really had a problem with seats only in the last week naturally. However I think there is somewhat of a correlation between talkers and desk hoggers so if the talkers we cracked down on then there would be more free desks (I'll get to them later). Although I have to agree with House of Wolves from earlier, if your in first thing and are going to spend the whole day in the library cept for lunch then you kinda want to keep the seat ya had.

    Now the talkers...one question...where are the library staff?? I'd much rather a member of staff give out to someone for talking rather than texting. It's very hard to find a solution to this but seen as the library loves signs so much I think they should invest in a movable sign thing, it would get people's attention. I'm talking bout a 4-5ft high stand with a big sign on it saying, "this area has been reported as a noisy area, please refrain from talking in order to respect your fellow library users" or "talking is forbidden" or they should go down the cool/with the peeps route like the drink aware ads, something like "just because you had a great night last night doesn't mean the rest of us want to hear about it" or "are you getting evil stares from the person your sitting opposite??? maybe you should shut up". Then the library staff could move the sign around a few times during the day and people would notice it and maybe it would help. Also a good few people who talk also go off an leave their desks so if they were corrected for talking then maybe they would cop on and either a leave altogether or realise they should be quiet and get down to work.

    Phones don't bother me as long as they are on silent and vibrate is off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭Mark200


    Did anyone here go to the Hamilton library some mornings... before this 'study period' we're in now? When you go up the stairs there'd always be a group of people there talking in the morning. I'm pretty sure they were student shelvers. They were so annoying. I only think they were student shelvers because one time the librarian came up and they started putting books on the shelf. Only time I saw them do anything besides sitting there in a circle talking....

    I'm a guilty offender when it comes to hogging a table. i come in the mornings, hog a table, go out for a wee walk and whatnot and appear back a couple of hours later. Don't see the problem to be honest. There are enough desks for everyone. I get up early in the morning to study and don't see why some waster who wanders in at 2 or 3 should have my desk, even if I amn't there.

    Also, fully agree with the sentiments about talking the library. The other day I was sitting beside a gay fella who seemed to know every girl in the library, because every time one passed they would sit and have a full blown conversation for about 10 minutes. The third girl sat on the edge of the desk making mine wobble. I gave her the eyes of death, frustration and murderous intent. She apologised and moved on. We should bring back the death penalty for people like her.

    Haha, I'm one of them wasters who strolls into the library at 1 or 2. I hate it when there are rows and rows of tables with stuff left on them. Fair enough if you're popping out for an hour but when people leave for half the day and have the attitude that "I got up early this morning so I deserve to hog this table" and "You're a waster for not getting up early" its a bit ridiculous!!

    You're the one coming in in the morning then going "out for a wee walk and whatnot" for a few hours, you waster! You're completely contradicting yourself with that attitude, what does it matter what part of the day is spent in the library? I like to take it easy in the morning and sleep on a bit then get a good breakfast, but I'm still expecting a first class honours degree! Maybe you need to wake up and realise that you're not better than everyone else just because you get up early!! Who knows, maybe you're a bit on the slow side and need the extra few hours to let it all sink in... but a degree is not achieved in the few weeks coming up to exams!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,488 ✭✭✭Denerick


    So many fallacies there I don't know where to start! Good luck on your first class honours degree. Yes I get up early and study, but I tend to take a few hours break around half 11 or 12 o clock. Should I take all my stuff with me to allow some 2 O clock Jimmy to usurp my seat?? As far as I'm concerned I'm getting up earlier than others. Simple capitalism. I get there first so its my seat. Simple as that. If you don't like it then study at home!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 677 ✭✭✭M450


    Well next time I'll make sure to find where you're sitting then remove your "stuff" from the desk and take your seat... I did hear some rumour of a 15 minute rule ;)
    If you don't like it then study at home!


    ..we're probably not even in the same library!

    well that's like saying if you don't like people talking in the library then study at home. Yet you complained about that :confused:

    Its not you desk, it never was your desk, it never will be your desk. You may think theres a "first come first reserved seating arrangement" but this idea only exists in your little mind, the library has no such rule and any other student has just as much right to the desk as you regardless of when they show up.

    i get that you have been in college for a long time and as such have seen lots of the same threads. However it is university and the sphere of complaints is small, as are the general issues that affect students day to day, so similar threads will appear.

    You don't have the right to tell anyone to shut up just because you don't like the thread.

    I've been really nice all year.

    See you in a week.

    So this thread is 3 pages long and its now time to remind you all again that you can't be abusive to one another as its a breach of the charter.

    As you were.

    Think you misinterpreted that one, dan719 was complaining about it being the same as old threads while Boston basically told him to start a new thread to complain about it or stop complaining.

    Aye. That's what I thought. But Boston gave out about the new mods a while ago, so she was prob just taking any petty reason to ban him..

    Or you know doing her dissertation, up to her eyes in work and trying to keep this from going to some of the highlights of the year that included the Druid nazi thread and the Coca Cola thread.

    Going to fix it now.

    The point remains that you can't tell each other to shut up. And that Boston is not a mod.

    Isn't there some 15 minute rule on leaving your desk, anyway? The only issue I've had with the library so far is people letting their phone vibrate really loudly on the desk or somewhere. Just shows how much I'm in the library.

    Yeah, what's the point in putting it on silent if the noise from the vibration off the desk is just as loud and annoying... I leave my phone on vibrate but it's in my pocket and doesn't make a sound.

    If you're leaving the phone on the desk surely you'll see the light flash when you get a txt, so no need for vibrate!!
