[QUOTE="Cthulhu's Librarian, post: 2331290, member: 11064"] I overhear lots of conversations I sometimes wish I didn't when I'm walking around the library and students are on their cell-phones. The concept of "Private Conversation" just doesn't seem to click with lots of students. I can't tell you how many times I've overheard a female student talking on her phone, in a computer lab, about how so-and-so was really good/bad in bed, or how their friend hooked up with somebody. I've often had to ask someone to take their conversation outside because they were disturbing other students. One time, as I was walking up to a girl after receiving a complaint just as she said at full volume "... and then the dog pissed on my leg!" and everyone in the room cracked up. For some reason, male students seem to either talk at lower volumes or leave the room to talk in the halls on their phones, so they aren't as big a problem as the girls. [/QUOTE]
