For a couple weeks now this guy has been coming into the library and sitting at the computer next to me.
He might have decided to sit next to me because of my warm personality and vague cuddly resemblance to Santa Claus. But I think it's more likely that he assumed that I was one of the few native speakers of English in the library and he probably figured I could help him on his English papers.
I could help him if I were all warm and cuddly and didn't have my own damned stuff to do (such as writing this).

But I have offered him assistance but only after 4 PM when the library has closed. He's receptive to the idea but has never been around at 4. Which is fine by me. I have other things to do.
So he regularly sits next to me and struggles over his compositions and several times while he's sitting next to me some sort of high pitched beeping alarm has gone off. The alarm seems to come from his person but as he always ignores it I have never been sure. It'll go off several times while he's sitting there yet he never acknowledges the sound.
But just now he sat down and the beeping began again and as usual he ignored it. So I asked him "Why are you always beeping?"
"Oh, sorry!" he smiled. And then he pressed a button on his watch which turned off the beeping. So not only was he responsible for the beeping he could easily turn it off but always chose not to.
What the hell is that about?

Thanks for the brain-teaser,Woofy!
What the hell is THAT all about...
hmmmm..
it could be a few things,but i'm just going to provide the most likely answer....
When individuals from non-English backgrounds migrate to the USA
they are given,not only access to resources that most Americans utilize,
but they are also assigned a WOOFMUTT DETECTOR DECODER WATCH...
This nifty gadget fits on most wrists and lets out a BEEP if that individual has had
a dangerous exposure of WM 909
(that's Dr. lingo for a condition more commonly known as Woofmutt Proximity Disease)
the fact that he remained close-by even after it started beeping
and even after he turned it off
labels this gentleman as careless and not very intelligent...
The fact that you resembles Santa Claus
could lend to the argument that you were attempting to lure AND poison individuals with exposure...
Words of Advice- Avoid wearing red felt/ermine/and a cap to the library..
and that,dear Woofy,is what the hell THAT is all about...
