I hate women sometimes.
Welcome to another episode of "I hate women sometimes."
Today's topic is: talking in the library.
Final exams. Most people (including myself) go to the library to prepare for upcoming exams. I try to ensure that I emit the least noise as possible:
1. Cell phone is on vibrate.
2. Volume on the computer is turned off.
3. On-site conversations are limited to less than 30 seconds in a whisper tone.
4. If conversations are expected to last more than 30 seconds, I direct myself and the other person(s) to another area so that I do not disturb others.
I was under the impression that law students are a cut above the rest in terms of maturity and would try to follow the above rules. But not in this one library.
Every once in a while, someone starts a conversation in a room. Usually with guys, they tend to be a bit louder but the conversation last less than 30 seconds before the conversation ends or they decide to go elsewhere. And typically the conversations are limited to a class subject or something short.
But not women. They blabber on in the library about how their AIM or MSN messenger isn't working, gossip, Brangelina or Tomkat, teacher complaints, a long-winded explanation of the difference between res ipsa loquitur and res judicata or some other useless crap in addition to the usual chuckle. I sometimes wonder if they know the difference between a library and Starbucks (Ironically where they tend to be quieter.) Its particularly annoying to see these women sit together in the library and yet I constantly hear them whisper to each other, "I don't understand this." I don't mean to generalize, but I have not seen any men pull crap like this.
How do people like this get into law school in the first place? Did the admissions committee select them so that the school won't be full of quiet drones?
If you happen to be one of these women, either SHUT UP or go to the mall! The rest of us may not say anything, but we do notice and one day, you might piss off the wrong person.
