Sharing the library computers

There is only 6 computers at our library. One has a scanner that I have needed to use a ton of times the past week for the cyber schooling enrollment. If anyone is on the computer the scanner is attached to I have to wait an hour for them to get off before I can get on. Today I sat next to an older woman who had waltz music or something she was listening to very loudly from headphones. If listening to that wasn't bad enough for me she sat there tapping her foot. I have a short fuse when it comes to noises I could not wait to get out of there lol. I imagine my loud typing on the keyboard annoys people too so I try to keep it as quiet as I can.

We have no library like that in Philippines. I don't care about the noise but I hate waiting.

Do you have libraries there or just none with computers?

@AkoPinay wow! Do you have wifi internet at home? It would be expensive if you had to just use data all the time on your iphone.

I have a short fuse when it comes to extra sounds that are distracting too.

Thankfully my sons laptop and printer came today from the cyber school so I won't have to go to the library anymore to use the printers or scanner.

Was she listening loud music inside the library and nobody asked her to turn down the volume? This is crazy.

There was only one other person using the computers and that woman was very old. This woman had headphones on but they were turned full volume. It could be she has to have them loud due to poor hearing.

@shaggin I understand, but inside a library she should have turned off the music, to respect the others.

I'd go nuts with that situation. I hope you can get a computer soon.

I have a computer I just didn't have a scanner or printer. My son just received a laptop and a brand new scanner / printer from the cyber school today. It is his to use as long as he is enrolled in cyber school. I have to pay for the ink but at least we have one now and I won't have to go to the library all the time now.

I can see how that would bother you. I have used the library computers a number of times. I like things to be quiet.

I understand if she is hard of hearing or something but I am just thankful I have a scanner and printer now so I so not have to go to the library again for those reasons.
