Annoying Things That Happen In Study Spaces

studying-boh

Let's face it, studying sucks, and what sucks even more is sitting in a cramped library for eight hours at a time surrounded by the same obnoxious people.

There's the guy who falls asleep the moment he turns his computer on, the girl who "politely" asks you to plug in every Apple product known to man, and that one person that decided it was a great idea to get a five-course meal delivered to his study cubicle.

As Penn kids in the midst of finals, we can all relate. Here are the ten annoying things that happen to us in study spaces. Happy studying, everyone!

1. That person who uses the Van Pelt computers when they aren't even going to use the printers.

2. Foot tapping, nose picking, gum smacking—both individually and in unison.

3. Using a single piece of paper to reserve a carrel.

4. Shoes not being kept on.

5. That one consistent cougher/sniffler.

6. Someone's music is too loud even with their headphones in.

7. That girl who took a 15-minute call in Fisher Fine Arts Library... wait, isn't that illegal?

8. Any kind of sound in Fisher. Breathing included.

9. Abusing GrubHub as a strategy to literally occupy a table all day, and it's not okay.

10. That one person who has no more finals and still decides it's a good idea to still come to the library to socialize with friends.
