It started at lunch today when mom and I were trying to chat and a lady at an adjoining table decided to use that time to listen to every single one of her phone's ringtones.
Now I'm in the computer module area of IPFW's Helmke Library. The students behind me are collaborating on a assignment. Good for them, maddening for me.
Then there is the woman four computers down who keeps giggling aloud. I'm glad she is more engaged and amused by her scholarly endeavors than I apparently am. Still...
Far and away most annoying, however, is "make unnecessary noises" man--yawns vocally and loudly, sighs heavily, exclaims aloud in frustration...
Note to self:
If you can't tune out distractions (you can't) in order to concentrate on your work, bring earplugs or headphones.
