Move. That's the safest solution, since you're talking about a stranger. You never know what kind of weirdo that person might be.
Reply:d. or else get a librarian to speak to them
Reply:Ask them to turn it OFF. If this doesn't work then talk to the librarian. If this doesn't work talk to the party that owns and/or funds the library as this is unacceptable and it's the library staff that is supposed to tell these people not you.
Reply:Your forgot option F: Talk to the Librarian in charge and express your displeasure in the patron's violation of Library policies.
Reply:I'd give them a dirty look and I'd move.
Reply:d.


If they give me lip, then we'll have a whispered argument/debate about those earbuds, and if they're a real jerk I'll just inform the librarian and try to get them kicked out.
Reply:D. Ask them to please turn it down. Sometimes it is hard to know your ear buds are not trapping the sound only to your head
Reply:D
Reply:Ask them politely to turn it down, if not please move to another table where your ipod will not disturb me.
Reply:I would do d. then if they didn not comply. Then I would go to the staff. The staff is there to deal with these people. You dont have to have the hedphones all the way up in a library.
Reply:a,b and c.....then a punch....hmmmm
Reply:d. - and if that fails, pull the sucka outta der ear and smash it into a million peeces
Reply:It depends really. If I'm cool, I'd ask them to turn it down politely, but if I'm trying to keep up with a deadline and very frustrated, I might give them a dirty look, then say "excuse me, I can't seem to concetrate because I can hear your music blaring through here. Would you mind turning it down?(sarcastic)"
Reply:depends what they're listening to.


because, i mean, you can't ask someone to turn down bob dylan, right?


that would just be sacrlicious
