I think you intended that pun. Just a little.
We have had a few patrons, while not whipping it out, subtly play with themselves at the terminal. Two have been banned for this behavior so far. Also, when a row of computers is taken up so these jerks can look at porn, people are unable to use them for legitimate research or assignments. They also tend to camp out on the computers all day long, rather than be productive citizens. They are imo pathetic.
I worked for a while in movie theatres (not porn) and plenty of guys liked to jerk off during movies.
Every time we would show a kid film so lone male would come in to watch it and about 90% of the time we would catch him jerking off.
Once me and Mrs. Z were watching Zorro and as soon as Ms. Zeta-Jones hit the screen a small sound like clapping started up in front of us. I was getting up to get another coke and after I hit the asile he split as well.
For me the topper was the guy jerking off in Natural Born Killers.
Mostly these guys just bolt as soon as an usher walks past them. Of course I would never go and chase one down.
I’m so glad I don’t work in theatres any more.
Do you know what Abraham Lincoln and the guy sitting in front of Pee Wee Herman had in common?
They were both shot in the back of the head at a theater.
I’m sorry.
Some idiot in my city decided that it would be a good idea to look at child porn on library computers. After getting thrown in jail twice for this, he concluded that he should perhaps try a different method. He got the brilliant idea of breaking into the university and stealing one of their computers. Of course he was caught doing this and of course he told the cops why he wanted the computer.
He happened to be in jail at the same time as a friend of mine who had just been arrested trying to buy a small bag of weed. Knowing my friend knew a lot about computers, the ignoramus perv decided to grill him on the best methods of finding child porn. Of course, my friend refused to answer anything.
Good for you, Knead to Know! There are plenty of things that are legal that are not allowed in libraries. Yelling comes to mind. Furthermore, libraries are paid for with public funds. I don’t want my tax dollars subsidizing some pathetic moron’s visit to “XXX HOT TEENAGE SLUTZ!!!”
Frabbitz! How come I never get this kind of response to my angry Pit threads?
Alas, Main has the worst behavior problems. Their saving grace is that they have security people who will yank somebody out of a chair and give him a guided tour to the front door if necessary.
Legal, maybe, but as several others have mentioned, it violates the agreement the user signs when they ask for Internet access.
His/Her? I’m obviously not making a big enough impression on you folks.
That pretty much sums up my frame of mind last night. Well, that, and the fact that he so obviously only had one reason for being there and even when he knew he wasn’t likely to get much more of it done, he stayed … and stayed … right until closing time.
Well, the real problem is that it violates library rules. Granted, the rules are in place for a variety of reasons and maintaining a certain level of public decorum is one of them, but it’s just one of them.
Okay, you caught me.
Knead
Who is, library degree notwithstanding, all man
I mean, does the 24 Club sound like something a woman would think up?
I am sorry, Knead. My hunch was that you were male, but I’ve been wrong before and didn’t want to presume. Of course, I should have known…all your posts exude a potent masculine aura.
Yeah, I didn’t have time to shower this morning. Sorry 'bout that.

I want to know if the security guard is actually giving a little tour when he does this.
"On your left, you’ll see the chair that I just got out of to yank your sorry ass off the computer.
We’re walking…we’re walking…
On your right, you’ll see KneadToKnow in his manly glory.
And here we have the highlight of the tour, the front door - which I will now throw you out of."
