Phones in the Library


I'm supposed to be working on a paper for my film class right now (almost done writing the first draft) but I have to get something off my chest that I've kept pent up inside for too long.

Why, oh why, do people talk on cell phones in stairwells? Especially in the library! On a Sunday! Do you believe this area to be at all private? Is it always a misguided attempt to separate yourself from those who are actually working in the library that leads you to this totally public arena? Are you purposefully talking on the phone in there so that people THINK you're having a private conversation when in fact you are trying to have people eavesdrop as a sort of quasi-facetime?

Well, you're dumb. If you're going to talk on the phone, go to FFB or Novack. Take a walk outside. Go in the bathroom, for God's sake. Don't sit on a windowsill in the stairwell and think you're accomplishing anything at all. You're dumb and incredibly distracting. We can all hear you here on 3FB. All of us.

Say hi to your mom for me.

  1. I heard that that photo is based on a Filipino version of me...

    Haha I've had some pretty serious conversations in the library staircases before, but always quietly, I think...

  2. Did you try accidentally spilling cereal down the stairs from above? That might make these type of people that the sky is falling...and they may flee
