Today, I was at the library. I went near the computer section when I saw this man cursing and pounding his fists on a computer. He left. I thought I'd check it out. As I sat down, a librarian came over with the security guard and pointed at me. I'm now being fined for destroying public property. FML

Tell them to check the security camera to prove you didn't do it.

show them the security tapes

Honestly, why would you go to the computer that a man had been punching? Did you not think that someone would have called security or the cops on him? YDI

You shouldn't of sat at his computer after he was beating it up...
I'm not saying that you deserved it, but next time, be a little more aware.

Apparently you found a look alike. You should pull a switcheroo and make him do the time!

YDI for not minding your own business.

if they don't have a security camera then its a fyl

right @#7
mind your business!!

yeah...i mean if i was busted up, you are an idiot for even approaching it, let alone sitting down at it.

I've had worse...but YDI for u

hahaha.....Brilliant

curiosity killed the cat? regardless you should definitely tell them it wasn't you

wrong place @ wrong time

That's what you get for sticking your nose in other peoples business.

YDI
none of your business

What the heck is with all of you saying he deserves it for getting in other peoples business? The other guy left. There's no way you deserve it.

Maybe he wanted to look at the computer and see what was wrong with it. Sounds like he could have been trying to be helpful.

Pretty stupid librarian to not know that the guy left and you came there. She obviously wasn't paying very much attention to what people looked like, either.

Sucks.

Why would you sit down at a computer someone had just finished wrecking?

Yes. Tell them to check the cameras.
"Only these new cameras can prevent our free knowledge from being stolen!"
Information communists.

You idiot, you don't try to get involved in those situations! :D

that guy found out that the porn site he just entered his credit card to get porn vids monthly is just a scam hah

YDI for getting involved.
Just leave it be to avoid yourself trouble.

Well who told you to sit at the seat?

FYL for getting fined for something you didn't do.

YDI for not realizing that they called the security guard.

haha

You should have just left it alone buddy...

(eddie griffin voice) goddamn white what the hell was you thinking?! you don't set yourself up for shit like that you deserve that shit. you make me sick

Curiosity killed the cat? FYL though.

I just pictured a big armed guard like from a final fantasy game, not sure if i just play too many video games.. of coarse i AM playing last remnant right now

Make them prove it. They have security cameras. If you've been falsely accused and publicly humiliated, grab them by the ass hairs and pull hard.

Aw, give this guy a break. He was just curious to see what was going on. I would assume that most people would get a good look at a guy before calling security. I probably wouldve done the same thing.

you two must've looked alike
he might have been you from the future trying get you into something so you'll meet your true lover
(Y)

stand up and yell that he's under citizen's arrest for vandalism then when he tries to run the fun part begins ;] (yes you actually can do that so long as you can prove he did it)

Also, just ask them to look at the security tapes or see if there were any other witnesses perhaps?

Next time, mind your own business?

agreeeedd..
tell them to check the damn cameras..

Lmao 33 citizens arrest doesn't work unless you're on your own property, well at least in canada

that's what happens when your too nosy.

#19, maybe the cameras are there to catch idiots like this? Too bad they apparently don't use them.

Lesson learned: instead of making yourself suspicious by taking place behind a ruined computer (for what?), go to the librarian/security and tell them what you saw.

should have told it to the staff of the libary instead of checking yourself. YDI

If you didn't do it then they can't prove it was you. Don't pay the fine and take it to court. You'll win unless the guard and the librarian are happy to lie on the stand.

Don't pay the fine if it wasn't you! In my library there's always a wait for the machines. One frees up and someone else grabs it. Didn't she account for that?

#41 is right on the money.

I agree with #41.

Why does everyone say to "Mind his/her own business"?

Maybe the OP is fairly tech savvy with a computer as was thinking "hey, i'll see what's wrong and see if i can fix it"

I know that's what i would have done. Jesus, people are so judgmental these days.

Toss 'em $20.00 and walk out. Library computers are equivalent to an e-Machine.

yeah exactly.
that's what i thought #46.. thanks for being reasonable.

What kind of piece of shit security guard wouldn't hear that going on in a library and immediately go over and investigate? I call bullshit on this story for that reason.

#49: Funny, I was in a library a few hours ago. They did not have security guards on every floor.

You can walk out next time. Security guards can't stop you.

Haha that's what you get for being so damn nosy! :P
.... well i guess i shouldn't be the one to talk cuz i probably would've done the same thing xD FYL lol

not a good idea

Errr, since when to library's have security guards...?

Wow...
That's what you get when
you are not very bright

You should've just stayed away from it in the first place
or
Not looked suspicious or like a creeper... (which you probably naturally look like)
or
Calmly expalined to the security guard that you were just looking at it after the guy left

Curiosity /did/ kill the cat, y'know.

Libraries generally have security cameras... maybe you should look into that.
