Fun At Your Local Library

(I found this crazy list online, but narrowed it down to my favorite 25... Just please don't do these things at MY library!)

A library is a somewhat easy place to annoy the people sitting around you, but for those of you with less then stellar creativity, here is a list of things you can do...

1. Read out loud. Very loud. And slowly.

2. While pointing to a very simple word, like 'the', ask the person next to you if he/she can pronounce it for you.

3. While looking at your book, turn so you’re facing the person next to you. Then, peer over the top of your book, and say "PEEKABOO!!"

4. Put down your book, and look over and start reading the other persons book, and, either 1) say "Ooo. Nice book." or 2) when he/she looks at you, quickly pick up your book and act like your reading it.

5. Suddenly look over at him/her, and say, "You’re one of THEM!"

6. Put down your book, and look at him/her. When they says something like "what?" cut them off by saying "Are you accusing me of something?"

7. Read your book. Upside down.

8. Read your book from right to left. And flip the pages the same way.

9. Flip the page every two or three seconds.

10. Pick up your book, put it down, and say, "Wow. That was a good book."

11. Read silently, and then as if speaking to the character in your book, say, "No, Jim! It's a trap! Don't do it!!" Then turn to the person and reply solemnly, "He did it." when he/she looks at you.

12. Sit down, and then say to the person next to you, "Hi! My name's (…) and I'm really glad to meet you."

13. Every so often, yelp in pain, and look at your feet.

14. Bring a bag or purse, and peer into it and say, "Got enough air in their?" or, "Settle down in there. I'm trying to read!"

15. Ask someone their name, and then when they start to reply, cut them off by saying, "No it isn't!"

16. Every time the person next to you turns the page, make a strange sound, or a beep.

17. Announce the page number each time you turn a page.

18. Spell every single word as you read it.

19. Hold your book right next to your eyes.

20. Every few minutes, get up out of your chair, walk around the table, and sit back down.

21. Put down your book, then say, “Hey, ya wanna trade?”

22. While working at a laptop, suddenly stand up, and announce to every one, “I have mail!!”

23. Collapse on the floor. Then get up like nothing happened. When the person next to you asks what is wrong, look at him/her with an inquiring look on your face, and say, “What do you mean?”

24. Say, “Who’s Freddie?” Then act like you didn’t say anything.

25. Get a child’s book like “Green Eggs and Ham” and complain that there is no glossary.

Heh. Funny, huh?
