A gentleman was using his cell phone up on the 2nd floor this morning. I politely asked him to take it downstairs since we do not allow cell phones up on the second floor. This floor is our quiet floor and we try to keep it as quiet as possible. He looked at me and nodded. Then as soon as I went back to my desk, instead of going downstairs like I had asked, he simply shut the copy room door. It makes me frustrated that grown adults refuse to comply with simple rules. I did not ask him to hang up the phone or even leave the library. I just asked him to go down stairs. When he finished with his call I reminded him again that cell phones were not allowed up here. He didn't seem to care, and left the floor.
Why are people so stubborn and disrespectful? I know that because of my size I probably do not demand the respect that I think I deserve. However I am the one that is employed by the library and I am the one that has to enforce it's rules. I just wish that people didn't make life harder for themselves, by refusing to do relatively easy things!
