After being cramped up in the library for hours at a time, little things that never used to annoy you suddenly reach the top of your list. Finals week is all about the race to the good table at the library or who could last the longest until the library decides to shut down. With only a few more days until the semester is over, the fight to finish is still going on and the library annoyances seem to be getting more annoying. For all you library-goers out there who know what I’m talking about, here is a list to remind you of the tolls of the library and what it is doing for your irritability factor.

1. The Pushers: No, I’m not talking about drugs or Tina Fey in Mean Girls. I’m talking about the people who love to constantly click their pens non stop as though they are racing the guy next to them. Unless you are OCD and must constantly check if your pen is still working, you have no excuse to be the pusher that you are.

2. The Eaters: Those who bring their smelly Asian Kitchen meals to-go to the library should be the ones that have to go.

3. The Typers: You may have succeeded at excel, but you’re typing skills should not be put on display for all to hear. Get a grip on those keys and lower the volume.

4. The I-CHATTERS: It’s almost comical to watch someone ICHAT the person next to them, seeing as they cannot speak but can only make funny faces at one another. You are clearly bored. Give up your seat to someone who really needs it.

5. The Cuddlers: The mushy-gushy stuff is only acceptable when you are studying the anatomy of the brain for your chemistry class. Other than that, save the cuddling and canoodling for after the library.

6. The Phone Answerers: We all once in a while have to answer our phones in the middle of a study sesh. But must you answer your phone before you have excited the room? “Hi mom, I’m in the library” isn’t necessary for any of us to hear.

7. The Lifers: You know who you are. You either live at the library or love to bring your entire life to the library. Either way, you are annoying because you grab the good tables and give off the impression that you actually give a shit about school.

8. The Draggers: It may be UGG and rain boot season, but dragging your feet across the floor when walking can be compared to nails on a chalkboard. Lift those legs ladies!

9. The Music Lovers: We all may want to listen to our music once in a while, but we most certainly do not want to listen to yours. Unless your taste in music is absolute perfection, I suggest lowering the volume.

10. The Crowders: If only we could turn the table into a Four-Square court: Dividing lines might keep the crowders off our turf and force them to keep their stuff on their own side.

After a nice rant about how annoying people in the library can be, it kills me that I must return to this place indefinitely. Though my home away from home can sometimes cause me to cringe rather than concentrate, I can’t say I won’t miss the gum chewers and foot tappers that have egged me on for so many years once I graduate.
