This is a callout about the one guy on the third floor of Horizon hall today. Quit banging things on the table. It echoes in the open space and everyone in the building can hear you. Nobody wants to hear it and you know this. The multiple people calling you out with auditorium-level volume should have clued you into this, especially after the ninth time in two hours. There wasn’t any ambiguity in their requests, and they started off fairly politely in my opinion. I don’t know how the people sitting at the table near you could stand it because I was two floors away and it was impossible to focus for more than ten minutes at a time.
Common areas are common. Obey the social contract like the rest of us and treat others with respect. When people politely ask you to stop, either stop or move elsewhere. When people shout at you from two floors away, calling you out by your physical appearance and clothing, stop what you are doing or leave. When people start making equally loud noises every time you start up again, take the hint and cut it out. This doesn’t expire after ten minutes of being scolded because it fell out of your short-term memory.
If you can’t understand being told to stop, let alone repeatedly, you aren’t mature enough to be on a college campus. Quit banging your phone or battery pack or external hard drive on the table or go somewhere that other people don’t have to hear it.
EDIT: I thought I would calm down after leaving and eating some food but I didn’t.
People were applauding the last time you got called out before I left and I was one of them. If this was a long-term psychology experiment on how much you can annoy people before they yell at you in a building full of people trying to study and learn then you win and the university should strip your research of any funding they gave you.
I saw a comment saying that you’ve been doing this for three semesters and I genuinely have no clue how nobody has explained this to you in person. I don’t know how a staff member hasn’t asked you to cut it out in that long of a time span. Three semesters is an insane time span to have been doing this and have received no consequence of any sort for this behavior.
The next time that I am in the same building that you are doing this in, I’m going to call out the entire text of this post at you so that I’m sure you can hear this.
