I had to walk out of the library the other day. I was wearing noise canceling headphones and listening to music at a normal volume and yet a mom with three kids drove me out due to the fact they were running around and yelling like it was their house.
I travel and this is the new normal at libraries throughout the U.S. Many libraries now have an open area children’s section where the kids can play on the floor and be as loud as they want.
I do use study rooms at the library but not all libraries have them and a closed glass door does not block all the noise from a screaming baby/toddler.
Libraries are a shared space and in the past used to be quiet. Now in the effort to be inclusive to everyone they don’t enforce any noise rules because they want those moms and their screaming kids to come visit the library.
And of course, you cannot complain to anyone about this because if you do so you are a Karen and no one will care and then they’ll tell you “if you don’t like it you can leave” This is society now…everyone does what they want with no regard for others.
por que no los dos
why not both
Can someone explain how this started? I just occurred to me it takes longer to type out (30% more characters), and means exactly the same thing. It’s not even a borrowed phrase that adds some subtle meaning that we don’t have a native idiom for. It’s literally just saying something randomly in another language.
I’m not offended by it; heck, I’ve done it myself multiple times. I just don’t know why, or how it started, and it suddenly struck me as bizarre.
