The people in here are real, the place is known, no names are given as none are asked. It was conducted on floors of D.H. Hill through February, and from the payroll of my boredom. Worth millions in that respect

I do my studies and class work on the 8th floor of the library, it's a quiet paper labyrinth. I designed my machinations from here. The idea was quite simple in thought. I wanted to observe the result of informing groups of disruptive people by race to be quiet in the library. My method, I'll randomly find people based on the category I need, and ask them to please be quiet in the library.


Session 1: Asians.

Response: "Sorry"


Session 2: Indians

Response: "Just stared at me"


Session 3: Africans

Response: "What's up"

(I restate question)

Response 2: "It's black history month"


Session 4: Asians

Response: "Sorry"


Session 5: Caucasians

Response: Said nothing.


Session 6: Africans

Response: Doo? Duut? Duyyy? is not my fault.

Note: Group starts singing afterword when I leave area.

one time these freshmen came up right behind the study test I was sitting at

and were like lookiong at the window saying shit like "OH LOOK THAT"S HARRELSON"

so, I turned around and just stared at them while they were talking

and one of them whispers to the other "some guy is staring at us"

so then they both stop and are like "what"

and I'm like this is a library

and they were like yes we know this

and I was like I don't think you do

how about shut the fuck up

and then they called me an asshole and left

I chalked it up as a win

For some reason, I like this thread.

2/8/2006 10:05:12 PM

I never said stuff to noisy ppl in the library. i tend to just get distracted listening to their conversation.

2/8/2006 10:31:24 PM

wait.. you have to specify FOB asians and americanized asians

2/8/2006 10:35:22 PM

I've found that staring at people who are talking entirely too loud for the environment usually works. Also, I feel that they want me to pay attention to them, because otherwise they'd quiet the fuck down.

we go study in the room upstairs that is clearly labeled "GROUP study"

and we are kind of obnoxious in our study methods but not super loud, anyway, one day these two bitches kept glaring then one got up and left for a while and came back and told the other one about some other empty rooms really loudly, then they got up and left.

good times, we were MUCH louder after that.

2/8/2006 10:46:53 PM

Yah, I thought there'd be an accent problem, no, they spoke goooooo english

Quite possibly the funniest thing I've heard all day.

i think it's fun to break up a conversation that's in another language.

Once when I was a sophomore, I was in the BAR studying some statics with my friends and some douches were watching Underworld on the big TV. They actually asked us to "keep it down" and one of my friends started howling at them like a werewolf. I warned them that he could change any second. They weren't pleased.

i can assure you that I've been in the library bor than firmbuttgntl and everyone is loud. When asked to be quiet they shut up. There is no correllation between race and loudness.
