Annoying things about university library?

Scroll to see replies

Every time I've been in the library early recently (7am) someone has come in, plonked themselves down and proceeded to make as much noise as possible when getting their laptop and charger out of their bag and set up. I really don't understand how getting a cable out and placing it neatly on the table and quietly plugging it in is so difficult, they just slam it all down and make a meal of it when its a simple task. All the while breathing heavily and sighing every 5 seconds. So irritating! Even when that's over they proceed to bash the keyboard furiously when it's supposed to be a silent study area, people with laptops shouldn't be allowed there if they can't type quietly.

People who sit in front of a functioning computer and use their laptop instead.

People who seem to think that the library is a social area. You always seem to get large groups of students, invariably international, who gather between about 11 pm and 2 am and talk loudly whilst doing no work whatsoever. Evidently they are yet to discover, y'know, the pub.

The fact that library staff won't remove people's things, even when they've been gone so long the computers have automatically logged them off.

We used to get people lock computers and leave for a couple of two hour lectures.
