It seems that it is once again time for a periodic reminder of what behavior is acceptable where. Congratulations, everyone: it has been eight (8) months since my last post on this topic. A new record! However, let us not rest on our laurels, as I have recently borne witness to some of the most horrifying behavior yet.

Acceptable Library Behavior:
› Reading
› Quiet contemplation
› Listening to music
    › This insistence on Philip Glass over, say, Chopin continues to grate, but that is a topic for another time.
› Studying without narrating your thoughts aloud

Unacceptable Library Behavior:
› Eating fragrant foods
› Making out like a pair of schoolchildren
› Loudly humming to the aforementioned classical music, and in the wrong key
› Clipping your toenails ‼️

You may be asking yourselves: "Niko, surely no one is clipping their toenails in the library. Why even add that?" I regret to inform you that I saw it with my own eyes (I will not name names), and that it is the worst thing I have personally witnessed since Shaq's album release party in 1993. (Did you know Shaq released an album? Now you do.)

It is a small ship. Let us try to be kind to one another! And, if at all possible, spare each other such unpleasant sights.

Ah, a classic 'he who smelt it dealt it'.

[murphyy]

if he ruffles his feathers about it enough, no one will believe him guilty...

[chemveil]

Diabolical. Maybe he should be in Espionage.

[murphyy]

he's too famous with the elderly.

[chemveil]

Wasn't he like, a local theater guy back in the day? Got put in his hometown paper a few times?

[murphyy]

something like that.

[chemveil]

That's cute for him. I bet he's still chasing the high of regional theater. Maybe that's why he's being so bossy.

[murphyy]

not sure he knows how to be anything but bossy.

[chemveil]

It does seem to be like his natural state. At least this time it's mostly good.

[murphyy]

i don't mind bossy. i just think it's a bit silly to get finicky about what people do or don't do in a place this small.

UNSENT.

THE ELDERLY?

[oneirophrenic]

'The elderly' feels a little extreme.

[adrii]

No, I think Murphy has the right of it.

[oneirophrenic]

The majority Most A sizable contingent of my fans are peers.

[adrii]

Not seeing where you're proving her wrong.

[oneirophrenic]

You are older than me.

[adrii]

Yeah, but I'm not one of your fans.

[murphyy]

my gran and all her friends loved you.

[philiip]

I’m going to have to redirect some of that bourbon I was going to share with you to Novak. Soothe the nerves after a fatal hit.

[murphyy]

[...] it's just the truth, de vries.

[philiip]

You know it’s dangerous to scare pensioners.

[oneirophrenic]

[...] Well! Your grandmother clearly had good taste.

[murphyy]

she was a bit loony, but she did usually have good taste.

[oneirophrenic]

You can stop any time.
