Shhhhhh

So I'm tutoring today at the library and some kids at the table next to me are too loud for comfort. This annoyance goes on for about 10 minutes and I finally snap when one of the girls yells out loud. I then throw a Shhhh at them. I'm not the only one bothered as there are parents and other tutors looking at them with angry eyes. They decide to continue being rude and just continue being loud. By this time you can tell they are being loud on purpose so I throw another Shhhhh. Then the loudest girl has the gall to mutter, "I hate it when people shush at me." I respind with, "I hate it when people are loud at a library." She seemed surprised because she didn't think I had heard what she said. Unfortunately, they continue being loud and I attempt a third time to silence them with a "Can you be quiet? You are being unecessarily loud." This time they just ignore me. Then I see some guy at a computer and he tells a librarian "Those two just keep going at it and they are really loud." I was dissapointed at that guy. Not only was this guy so lazy that he had to wait for a librarian to pass him up, but he actually complained about the person who was trying to get the nuisances of the library to be quiet. Also, he was only looking at craigslist. To avoid being a nuisance myself, I gave up on trying to silence those kids. A little bit after a parent lashed out at the kids urging them to keep it down. The dude at the computer just looked over and didn't say anything, he could have least said something to the kids, he could have manned up. Needless to say, he didn't. The kids would not shut up though, eventually a librarian finally kicked them out. Even then they didn't go quietly. So to the kids, I'm sorry that I interrupted your conversation that could have been taken outside. I should have told my student to do better at school as to not be in this perdictament. And to the fat lazy guy at the comp, I'm sorry I interrupted your craigslist search, if only I didn't care about my students' progress so much, we wouldn't have had a problem. So the two of you can take the bird and your douche cards.
