    It's time for Passive Aggressive Man!

    Write "turn that sh!t down" in large letters on your a4 pad. Throw some paper in his direction and hold up the sign.

    Tap him on the shoulder and tell him you are really enjoying the music but cant for the life of you remember who the artist is.

    They probably wont, they are probably thinking the same thing as you but dont have the guts to say anything. And even if they do, who cares, how many of those people will you ever see again? Why does it matter what they think?

    I guarantee you more people read AH than are in the library, the damage is already done. Write him a note asking him to turn down the music, make sure you include a smiley face.

    Wave your 'jazz hands' in front of his face and ask him to turn it off.

    Kick them in the face.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Walk up to him, give him a kind of "Javier Bardem in No Country" stare, take the mp3 player off him, drop it on the floor and stamp on it heavily - just once. That is key, just once. Then another 3 to 4 seconds of psychotic staring and walk back to your seat.

    You're welcome.

    Whereabouts? Get a few of us to go to him and kick the fuck out of him.

    The eejit down from me in the library is posting on boards and distracting me from my jazz! :/

    What is the relevance of his age, gender or the genre of music blaring from his ipod? :confused:

    Suffice it to say that a person is behaving inconsiderately and breaking the rules of the library. :eek:

    Just do as Enderman suggests and ask him to turn it down or off. If he doesn't, complain to the librarian.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,751 ✭✭✭Saila


    get up and start miming like a street performer, they cant tell you to stop and throw you out of a library for that

    You gotta set the mood for the story... just like jazz sets the mood for an evening!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭44leto


    If you are not willing to ask him kindly to turn it down as suggested in post 2, go radical.

    Take out your knife, sneak up on him ninja style and slit his throat ear to ear. It will just be reported as another case of library rage, the Gardai don't bother with these cases anymore,

    For some reason it being a middle aged man annoys me more than your typical teenager. He should know better.
    Also the changing rhythms of the jazz just annoys me even more.
    The sex well its just what you say isnt it. .........

    Anyways im at home now so I dont have to be annoyed by him any more.
    Seriously irritable today.

    So he is in the library listening to music and you are in the library surfing the net? Sounds to be like you should get of the bloody internet and start studying, that other chap is probably do more than you! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,397 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    Tell him Jazz is musical wánking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,583 ✭✭✭mconigol


    Post about it on the internet. That will show him.

    Mr tut, this is how it goes

    1) write a paragraph,
    2) spend time looking for a reference to back up said paragraph
    3) check in on thread and facebook
    4) possibly eat something of go to the bathroom
    5) repeat steps one to four

    And Im sure he is achieving more than me as the entire time I was listening to his music I was distracted and annoyed! But thankfully this essay isnt due until Thursday so its all good in the bloody hood!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Remmy


    Either stab him in the neck with a pencil or politely ask him to turn the volume down. I haven't yet decided which is the more prudent course of action.

    ....just a question. Wheres the "passive" there...?

    Cut his earphone wires and let the scissors/knife hover in front of his face for a second before you sit back down.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 874 ✭✭✭eilo1


    Well om back in the library. No old man to bother me. However there are about ten teenagers divided into three groups who are all whispering and joking. Grumble!
    There is also a group with two girls and one boy who were pong lipstick on each other. Having a right old laugh they where!
    Until i lost the plot and gave out to them. Now i feel mean and everyone looked at me. . . .
