Students having sex in the library is one of the most common problems librarians face. AND IT'S MADDENING. The only reason I escape it at my current job is because there really is nowhere to hide, it's an extremely open space, but I've had previous library jobs where such was not the case. Sigh. Clearly it's going to keep happening but sigh all the same.
I'm aware libraries are hardly exclusive, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. It's rude to library patrons who are trying to study and creates unnecessary and uncomfortable work for the librarians who try to keep things running smoothly. It makes a mess, angers and often frightens other patrons who then expect the librarians to chase off the amorous couple. If it's done with no evidence and no one noticing, fine, congrats on getting away with it, but that's frequently not the the case and we spend enough time trying to shush the phys ed students disrupting the people writing papers without adding in shushing the moans and giggles coming from the stacks.
...okay, sorry for the rant, but I'm really not a fan of sex in public places not allocated for the purpose. It's extremely discourteous and there are other, less annoying ways to get a thrill.
I guess I'm lucky that where I work is so open-plan that there's zero opportunity for any covert shagging. We do have a bloke who sometimes pisses in the lift, though. Ick.
