a christmas (library) wishlist

as it is exam season at the university of toronto, and all the poor students are coming in from the cold -  only to crowd the study rooms and procrastinate on facebook - i really wish they'd all keep a few things in mind.

this wishlist is more like a guideline for etiquette... and should be a hard law, enforceable rule book. yes, robarts, i'm available for hire.

1. an empty coffee and a book or two DOES NOT MEAN you are saving your seat. leaving the library for hours at a time and taking up valuable study space is lame. people all around your spot stare in wonder while you're gone, shaking their heads at your inconsideracy. c'mon, people.

2. turn your ****ing music down. just because you have earphones in doesn't mean your volume can be turned all the way up. i'm torn between wanting to let you blow your eadrums out, and wanting to blow them out with my fist.

3. in what world does it make sense to wear high heels if your feet are under a table, where no one can see them, and you're sitting down indefinitely?! you. look. stupid.

4. let's be real, you're a high school drop out who now works as a LIBRARY security guard. get over yourself. and stop using a bloody megaphone when you want to check our student cards. you just make yourself look more pathetic. also, i'm surprised the school actually gave you money to buy a megaphone, since you're at the bottom of the staff food chain.

5. there is nothing more infuriating than knowing a book is in the library, and not being able to find it. sorting shelves workers, cheers to you for being the MOST UNPRODUCTIVE EMPLOYEES ON THE PLANET. le sigh.
