Working in the Public Library

I am working in the public library today after some DSL problems.  This is a small regional branch, not the big downtown wonder, and I'm happy to say it is very busy.

For some reason, though, I have been inundated with foul-smelling young men whose odors have forced me to move seats three (seriously, three!) times.

The first could not stop farting in a small enclosed "Quiet Study" space we were sharing.  Okay, I totally understand if you accidentally let one loose, but repeatedly?  Dude, go to the bathroom or go let those things fly outside ... NOT in a small enclosed space with a stranger!  Sheesh!

The second reeked of cigarette smoke.  Again, not something that would normally bother me that much, but it was as if his clothes and body were still smoking.  To make matters worse, there were five or six other seats available in my second small, enclosed "Quiet Study" space, and he sat right next to me.  My eyes starting itching and watering almost immediately.  I once again packed my things.

So, I figured, I'll move out of the small, enclosed spaces, and I'll be fine.  But, no.   Again, with many other seats available, a guy comes and sits right next to me.  He is wearing so much cologne that not only do my eyes start itching and watering, but my nose begins to run.  I try to stick it out thinking he'll move soon, but nope.  He's in it for the long haul, and really, this is the worst of the bunch, so ... I move again. 

Now, I am sitting at the most isolated table I can find.  The closest person to me is about six feet away and is an older man.  He is not stinky at all, but he does keep sniffing madly.  Maybe he's allergic to me.
