He wears them while drilling. Drilling holes.

Well I haven't worn them in the supermarket yet, but I'd say I have in the library... they're really not that big a deal, they're just to make everything quiet.


Maybe something like these would make you less conscious about them?


I think the time I wore them most actually had nothing to do with study at all!
Last year I was living with some of the noisiest, screechiest people I've every known and eventually started to wake up naturally 15 minutes before they did to use them in the morning time while in bed.

An essential life purchase :pac:

You'd say you have worn them in the library - like you're not sure!?

I know what they do - I wear them while studying at home myself because my house is so noisy. I suppose I'm just not brave enough to wear them in the library.

So im planning on going to the library for the first time in a while. Can I drink a bottle of club rockshandy upstairs? I found books that I borrowed 4 months ago and didn't bring them back. What if I were to just leave them in the library on one of the tables upstairs and when I go to take out a book next week I can just slap on a confused innocent look and say sure I dropped all books back ages ago. Can you check again please? Will this work, the fine must be huge now.

Will asking this here scupper me when I go about my plan when the one behind the desk says something about reading 5aces on the internet.... Whadda mean 5 aces? Do you mean poker? Whaaa?

You are one inconsiderate bastard!! How the france am I supposed to study if you're chugging back a delicious bottle of club rockshandy?!?! People like you should be strung up (and/or charged a €20 fine).

One of the girls got a warning the other day for having a bottle of coke on her desk unopened, she showed the librarian that it wouldn't fit into her bag and all. Seems a bit extreme!

Currently sitting up on the third floor doing Psychology research. There are two blokes sitting in front of me, who every few minutes start a chat. I have my earplugs in but it's still very annoying. Bah,

I know the feeling, I was studying for a geography exam in the reading room in January, then these two fools have a chat nearby...very frustrating.

Ms. Koi

I was getting increasingly frustrated with the two chatters in front of me, so I politely asked them would they mind keeping it down, I have earplugs in and I can still hear you! They kept shctum afterwards! I was delighted.

You can get white noise, pink noise and brown noise, and it is so amazingly affective at cancelling out background noise. You can choose to oscillate the sound as well, which sounds very much like the ocean. Oh and you can download the noise too!

Some people really need to take a look at the world around them and realise that a bit of noise in the library is one of the least important things they could possibly complain about. Lighten up.

Yeah! God forbid we should ask for quietness in a library of all places. Fools don't realise those signs asking for 'Silence' are just decorations, make the place look nice! What's the world coming to? Next thing they'll want us to wear swimming trunks in the pool. Pfft.

True that, you can't have a completely closed noise free environment, unless you have somewhere that's completely under your control, like say inside your head.

I would actually say it's fairly important but it depends on what the noise is. If it's a whispered question every now and again then that's fine. If it's a person having a full blown conversation then it is both disrespectful and distracting. If you go to the cinema and the person behind you is on the phone the whole time you'd be fairly irritated to say the least and the same applies for this situation. People are stressed they have exams/theses to do and they need somewhere to concentrate.

Why did this poster receive a warning for this post?

Rozabeez

Breach of peace, I consider picking on someone's typo to be just that.

Be nice to each other guys! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BE NICE!!

yoursaviour1989

saw a mature student get a fine for eating a sweet in the library, like he had a bag of sweets and would occasionally take one out to suck while he was studying, it helps some people concentrate, and he got fined for that. FFS!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

funky penguin

Did he get a warning first?

I thought it was a good quip. Certainly not worthy of a warning.:D
