Miscellaneous: Today, I was at the library doing research for my midterm. All...

Today, I was at the library doing research for my midterm. All of the computers were in use, so I decided to use my laptop instead. Ten minutes later, I was confronted and kicked out. My offense? Unauthorized use of the library's so-called "Free Public WiFi". FML

Same thing different taste

It wasn't me

By weliveanddie14 - 07/05/2009 20:27 - United States

Today, I was at the library. I went near the computer section when I saw this man cursing and pounding his fists on a computer. He left. I thought I'd check it out. As I sat down, a librarian came over with the security guard and pointed at me. I'm now being fined for destroying public property. FML

Getting some action

By hugadyle - 18/04/2020 14:00

Today, I took a trip to the library's public computer section to get some important work done. After a bit of work, I went to stretch only to see that the man next to me was watching some adult films on his computer and discreetly touching himself. I still had 58 minutes of computer time. FML

Today, I was at the library, working with some classmates on our major semester project. I accidentally killed power to the row of computers by me. I've never had so many enraged faces looking at me before. FML

Freakout

By LoLWut?? nd Why?? - 16/04/2013 04:01 - United States

Today, I went to a library to return a book that I've had for years. After a heated discussion with the librarian, not only did she charge me over a hundred dollars for the book, she also called the cops to escort me out. FML

Just a prank, bro!

By fail - 16/02/2011 23:16 - United States

Today, at the library, somebody left themselves logged in to Facebook on a public computer after they had left. Trying to teach them a lesson, I updated their Facebook status to something outrageous. That's when they came back to the computer after getting something from the printer. FML

Today, my friend wasn't responding to my whispers in the library, so I walked over and very slightly moved his chair. At that exact moment, the librarian walked in. Regardless of our efforts to tell her anything, she got us banned from the library. FML

Quiet!

Today, while studying for a big test at the library, some idiots started playing hide-and-seek. After putting up with their snorting and giggling for nearly an hour, I finally lost my shit and told them to knock it off. I then got kicked out for causing a disturbance. FML

Today, I was working on a project in my school's library when a group of teenagers came in and began talking and laughing and being loud. When I asked them to please quiet down, the librarian asked me to leave for being too loud. FML

Run run run

By Chiong - 26/02/2022 12:00

Today, I rushed from work so I could get to the library to return a book that was due. The library closes at 7:00 p.m. I arrived at 6:56, huffing and puffing. The lady saw me, slammed the door in my face, and locked it. I now have to pay a late fee for 4 minutes. FML

I sometimes park just outside of the library to mooch wifi on my iPhone. The sneaky feeling this gives me is priceless. Mind you, I probably just need to get out more... ;)

why else would they be at the library if they needed a computer? it's quiet and sometimes better than having to deal with it at Starbucks or at a noisy house.

Why would you write the exact same message as number 50? You DO realize that it's either going to be buried or removed, right?

Bakarra 22

Wednesday 13 March 2013 5:05

56: Something that I've learned on fml the hard way, no matter how freaking stupid a comment is, directly saying that it is going to get buried or that it should be buried will get yourself buried.

sux4u121 10

70, saying that a comment is going to get buried because they said somebody else will get buried will get you buried.

I can see if you were mooching at a coffee shop or cafe, but a library?

The baristas at a cafe don't mind the 'intimate' topic on the laptop but old ladies do! ;)

Sounds pretty ass backwards if you ask me! Research for homework should be considered an authorized use. You could make a complaint.

Why is this labeled as "sexual topic? "

I wonder what OP was doing on the computer,sine this is categorized as "intimacy"

He says "research", but we all know now.

You obviously didn't read the fine print. Under it would've given a definition for the acronym 'FREE' Federal Restricted Electronically Enlisted Which means you had to sign up online before you could go online. Careless, careless OP.

Next time you use the library's free public wi-fi, use it to research Kafka. Or Kafka ****, as some of the previous commenters have insinuated.

I was thinking of googling what #11 said but then decided not to. Now seeing #17's comment I have an even stronger urge to look it up. Must... resist....
