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
I agree, your life sucks (36228) - you totally deserved it (8566)

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

That's what you get for sticking your nose in other peoples 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.
Yes. Tell them to check the cameras.
"Only these new cameras can prevent our free knowledge from being stolen!"
Information communists.

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

FYL for getting fined for something you didn't do.
YDI for not realizing that they called the security guard.
(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
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?

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

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?
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.

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.

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

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

Why did you sit down at the computer? If anything, I would have stayed a certain distance away and have a look at the screen. Or at least walk by and glance at it. And why dont you do something about the charges. You know you're innocent. YDI if you dont.
