[quote=Anonymous]i was working (silently) in a public library last week. Dude came in, sat at a table, and proceeded to have a 15-minute work call in the freaking library.

I realize libraries are no longer the complete silent zones they used to be back when I was a kid. But this was completely egregious and rude. He didn't bother to modulate his voice, even. He and I were in an area off to the side of the main library somewhat but it was not at all an enclosed room of any kind.

I know, I should have said something, but like I mentioned -- libraries aren't complete silent zones any more. This one tends to be very, very quiet, though. And I figured he'd only be on for a moment, right? But no sense of shame, he kept going. I put on my headphones (very low because I don't want others to hear any sound bleeding out of them because I have manners) but was on the point of going up to him when he finished and left.

If you need a place to take a work call, do it IN YOUR EFFING CAR if you can't do it in your house. Not in a library. JFC. [/quote]
