Library Annoyance

Okay, so having spent the past week working in the library, I felt the need to vent my frustration at the annoying 14m3r5. Here they are, in no particular order:

1) Weird look bloke: This person sits roughly opposite me every day; whenever I look up from my work he is looking at me. Logical reasoning suggests to me that this shouldn't happen - if we both look up randomly then we should rarely make eye contact. The only explanation for this that I can think of is that he is staring at me. Constantly. This is starting to freak me out.

2) Stupid Socialite Tarts: There are a group of these who hang around and talk to each other constantly in a 'whisper'. The problem is that they seem to have completely misunderstood the concept of a whisper and simply talk at normal volume in a rather husky voice and occasionally break out in giggling fits. They do this for about 80% of the day and spend the other 20% texting and making frequent trips to the toilet (and the drinks machine to facilitate this).

3) Paper Throwing People: Yesterday somebody threw a screwed up piece of paper at the person sitting on the desk opposite them. They threw it back. Fine. Nothing wrong with a little amusement. Two hours later they were still doing this. Starting to get annoying. About five hours later they were still going. Do they have so little humour in their lives that they can't think of any more amusing things to do? They were still going today. Considering writing FOAD on a piece of paper and throwing it at them. Could be counter productive.

4) Pen Clicking Person: this person spend the majority of sunday clicking his pen. It wan't just occasional clicking, oh no, this was SERIOUSLY MALICIOUS CLICKING. I mean, for five minutes at a time, constant continuous clicking. Click-ick click-ock click-ick click-ock click-ick click-ock click-ick click-ock you probably get the idea. He did it on his hand, his head, his paper, his body, he clearly had carefully practiced pen-clicking skills. After a few hours, this escalated into tunes being clicked and was really starting to annoy me. Kathy wrote him polite note asking him to stop before I had the chance to remove the springs from all his pens.

5) The person in the blue t-shirt. He's an arrogant twat, I spoke to him a few months ago.
