Why do some people do this?

It's annoying when some people do it generally too, for example fake coughing in a library can put you off, you could be sending an important email to, or be studying!

I've seen- and heard that as well. Worse when you consider their ire may be based on someone else talking. So they go on to make noise themselves. Dumb, but it happens.

I'm in a public library, a member of staff when I asked for a time extension using a PC, asked half an hour or an hour, I wanted a hour but because I was asked this question I ended-up answering half an hour. This confused me as the staff don't usually mind letting members of the public have unlimited time when only a few PCs are in use, (there are three people on pcs including myself) and someone who has been using a pc longer than me.

In the same bar, two people sit together to my left there are plenty of seats but one of them chooses a seat then proceeds to stare at me, I move to another part of the room and he does it again. I would love the bar staff to ban him for a period of time for this, in my book this is harassment, if it occurred in a Scottish train staring from this photo you will see, but why is it allowed in a bar

I am happy with myself though. I had fruit juice and not alcohol. Recently I have not drank at all and I don't think I will or unless it's maybe with a friend or friends but that wouldn't be drinking on my own

Niether my wife or i are big drinkers. After all bars makes money on drinkers for years, I would order one drink nurse it for hours. My wife was allergic to alcohol, She likes wine and has built up a bit of a tolerance.

Isn't that what most men and women go to a bar for?
To see if they see something they like and throw them a line?

They call them Meet and Greet lounges here.
I've never been to one, but they are always crowded.

In a bar if someone puts on songs they can be skipped by staff even if the customer pays for them or other customers can say they disapprove or mock the choices. And sometimes if a customer wears earphones customers can seem offended when no jukebox songs are playing, I don't understand

This is in general too not just in a bar, some people can be wolves in sheep clothing and try and mock people some people do it blatantly, it's cowardly and they are liars who pretend they are good people. Not just if they sense a person has a condition ie autism.
Also in a bar another customer accused someone of trying to avoid electricity costs by asking to charge their phone while they have their drink. Someone could have been out all day ie walking, meeting a friend, the library and their battery is low and normally they wouldn't ask

I have started swim lessons through the council. I'm surprised and disappointed that I wasn't advised about eating and drinking before

Sometimes employed as a way of expressing partisanship and contempt yet maintaining a disingenuous sense of decorum.

Assuming it could be like the scene out of the movie "Animal House" when the Deltas objected to a sham hearing to shut them down. I'd post the video, but the mods would probably frown on it. ;)

Also, if you have bet some money on one of the players, it can happen that you accidentally cough and sneeze and fart loudly or shout "fire!" when his opponent is about to take a shot. ;)
