read your damn book

perhaps the weirdest of all is one who observes the weirdos.

the library is the perfect place to see weirdos in all shapes and sizes. the silence allows you to notice each individual in all of their glorious weirdness, and it makes them stand out so painfully obvious.

in a place where one is expected to be quiet, those that create noises are just screaming LOOK AT ME! i'm weird! i can't control myself! i know they probably don't mean it, but that's why they're weird.

take this indian man beside me for example. he's sitting there reading a book, probably an engineering book because i see figures of sound waves and stuff. an intelligent man, i suppose. an indian national, perhaps.

the thing about him is that he keeps making these smacking and slurping noises with his mouth, and drums on his book like everyone around is dead. strange spasming guy, and the noises are pissing me off.

and then of course there're socially retarded people like this bloody china girl with a bloody irritating ringtone talking on her phone like it's the fucking market.

hello? yes everyone can hear you fucking bitch. and the great thing is that she refuses to turn off her ringtone despite it going off several times. answering her phone, maybe i can understand, although it is absolutely not necessary nor acceptable to fucking CHAT on her phone.

if i could kill her i would. seriously.

and of course i realise that i've described 2 foreigners, but that's not to say that locals aren't weird. in fact, i've seen some that are so weird that i don't even know how to put their behaviour down in words.
