I'm currently sat in my uni library. There are big signs everywhere saying that you can only eat sweets and bottled drinks. I'm sat on a desk (no books) with my own laptop.
I was eating a packet of 'munchy seeds' i don't know if anyone's seen them, just like chilli flavoured seeds, in a small packet, very healthy, hence why i bought them.
The security guard came over and told me to stop eating.
My uni is NOT a nut free zone. Not like some schools are. You can eat anything you want in lectures/social areas etc.
I don't see how eating sweets is differet to seeds? they're not full of crumbs, like sandwiches. They don't make loads of noise like crisps. i've not got sticky fingers all over the books from sauces.
I don't know whether I should just keep eating them and then speak to the library manager if he tries to kick me out? I don't see any difference, why should only un-healthy snacks be allowed?
(It's pretty empty, i'm not making any noise eating them!)
