The Biggest Bitch in the World [True Story]

About a year ago my Uni opened a new library (http://tfdl.ucalgary.ca/facts).

Here's how it works in this library, right.

Floors 1, 2, and 3 are regular floors (talking is allowed).
Floors 4, 5, and 6 are designated quiet study floors (talking is prohibited and you can call the library staff or campus security to kick out noisy people).

One day, I arrived at floor 5 to finish up an assignment. This was about 9 am in the morning, so usually the floor is totally empty at this time. Today, however, there was this couple sitting right near the elevators chatting VERY loudly, shrieking with laughter, etc. They were so loud that people would be looking at them funny even if they weren't in a library.

They were also right beside the big sign that says "QUIET STUDY FLOOR" in huge block letters.

This was horrendously naive of me, but my next thought was "Hmm, who knows. Maybe it's their first time coming here and they just don't know that people actually care about the quiet study area. I'd hate for someone to get in trouble for just not knowing how it works, so I'll try talking to them myself instead of getting the staff up here."

So, I walk over to in front of their carrell. They are so absorbed in their loud conversation that they don't even notice that I just walked up to them.

... seriously?

Okay, I'll get their attention.

Me: "hey."

*They look at me*

Now, because I don't want to break the rules myself, I get close enough to them that I can mumble quietly and they can still hear me.

"Hi. I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation there, and I don't mean to be rude, or for you to take offense to this, or anything, but this is supposed to be a quiet study floor, as that sign right there says. I know what it's like to be absorbed in a conversation like this, but I do have a lot of work to do so if you guys could please just keep it down a bit I'd appre---"

The woman then cuts me off stands up out of her chair and starts shouting in my face at the top of her lungs (keep in mind I'm standing about 2 feet away at this point so this is very loud to me). This isn't "girly" shouting either; she had the voice of a freaking military commander:

"YOU JUST GOT HERE AND PUT YOUR LAPTOP DOWN --"

I was so surprised by this reaction that I actually jumped a foot or two backwards from her. She then turns in my new direction and shouts even louder:

"AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN HERE FOR TWO MINUTES SO THERE'S NO NEED TO GET ALL ***FUSSY!!!****" (obviously meant to imply "fuck" in that word).

I was just so appalled by this reaction that I couldn't even respond. I sat down without saying another word.

A few minutes later, the man (who hasn't said a word since) packs up his stuff and moves elsewhere.

Once the man is out of sight, the woman confronts me again:

I don't really remember what she said but it was along the lines of:
"F-Y-I, if you really needed it quiet, you wouldn't be sitting right here. It's never that quiet over here. That room over there is quiet all the time. There were people who were shouting last night and we didn't say anything to them!"

She then packs her bags and rejoins that man.

 

I'm not sure what the discussion point is here. You got intimidated by a woman who was inconsiderate. There are dickheads everywhere in life lol.

 

Le swearing with le stars xDD so le mommy doesnt le shout at le you xDDDD ._>>_<

 

WEEELL Govind's library encounter's a bitch she's a big fat bitch, she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world she's a stupid bitch if there ever was a bitch, she's a bitch to all the boys and girls!

On Monday she's a bitch, on Tuesday she's a bitch, on Wensday though Saturday she's a bitch, then on Sunday just to be different she's a super King Kamehameha beeeotch!

Have you ever met my friend Govind's library encounter? She's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world she's a mean old bitch and she has stupid hair she's a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch she's a stupid bitch! Govind's library encounter is a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch!

With that said...
Next time just get staff so kick them out and show no sympathy what so ever.
You should invite me round to your university so I can give her a word or two, not for being loud, but for being rude. I fucking hate rude people.

 

Ah, rude people.
You should have snapped at her too.

 

Govind, she came back to you. Sounds like she wants the d

But seriously my library only has 3 floors =(

 

I'm just inviting everyone to talk about what a fucking bitch she was.

 

Kinda funny the guy didn't say anything and just left. Maybe she beats him?

 

sounds like you needed to grow a pair and tell her to shove it. I wouldnt sit there and not say anything while some bitch is screaming at me in my ear.

 

lol u got wrecked by a bitch. if that bitch did that to me i would have thrown her out the nearest window. 50+ foot fall? Gl surviving

 

I'm confused. How did you get to the part about dismembering her corpse?

 

That sucks. Our library at my university is 5 stories. There are tons of good places around campus to study, though. My favorite place is this giant building that looks like an Esher painting. Students refer to it as the "death star" because it's literally like a 6 story maze that's half outside, half inside. It doesn't help that they purposefully randomly lock doors, either. However, you can always find a quite spot and the building gets very bad reception so no one can bother you.

It's also a great place for other things, too .

 

Meh. She was blatantly breaking the rules and talking loudly with her guy friend. How long you were in the room really doesn't matter - she should have quieted down when you walked in out of politeness.

Obviously she's just a bitch, evidenced by her reaction and lack of consideration for others.

Just take comfort in the knowledge that she'll live a horribly empty life with no friends because she's a colossal bitch. =P

 

lol isn't there someone monitering the library for people like this?

 

They do if you call them. The only reason I didn't was because I would feel bad if I got someone kicked out... I thought they may have just missed the sign and if I pointed it out everything would be cool.

 

stare her straight in the face, FALCONNN PUUNNNCHHH!!

 

you should have chewed her out, or called security imo

 

I'm glad to hear about your wonderful experience at the library.

 

Lesson Learned. Don't even try to be considerate <.<. Trade carefully.

 

Damn can feel for you bro those high pitched voices actually have a feeling for me
