Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Ok this is rather minor and inconsequential but I'm kind of feeling bad about it. I work in a Library, usually in the computer section, which is beside the study area. It being a Library, quietness is expected. 

Anyway, there's this one guy Jason, he's been coming in since I started work there 11 years ago. Jason is harmless, but I'm fairly sure he has some sort of learning disability. I also think he may come from disadvantaged circumstances. Anyway I kind of feel bad for the guy, but he is quite disruptive in his habits.

Part of Jason's daily routine is coming to the library every morning and using his alotted 1 hour session on one of the public PCs to watch music videos on YouTube. The problem is that his headphones are constantly really loud. I can hear his music from my desk across the room, and anybidy sitting near him can certainly hear it.

I have to ask him to turn down every day either by message or by going over to him. He turns down, but then inevitably turns up a few minutes later, like if I have to leave my desk for a moment. My co-workers also have to deal with Jason's loud music on the mornings I'm not working the computer area. We've all had to tell him to turn down on many occasions, it's a daily occurrence.

Anyway this morning I decided that the only way Jason was going to get the message was with some tough love. After telling him to turn down already, Tina Turner came blasting out of his headphones, much louder than anything yet that morning. So I said "fuck this" and ended his session.

He came up to the desk and said that the computer had gone off. I explained to him that I had ended his session and why. That he had ignored messages about his music, that it was a daily occurrence and it was unfair to those aroubd him. 

He kept pleading with me that he'd keep it down and just let him have five more minutes. I didn't and told him to come back tomorrow. He kind of hovered around my desk for a few minutes asking again to let him back on, but I refused.

Now I feel like a dick. Even though his music was really loud, and some people were looking over, I usually like to give the guy a pass. He's not malicious, he's just not really aware of how disruptive he is being. I feel like this is the only way he'll get the message. But then again, the poor kid doesn't seem to have much going on in his life and his daily visits to the Library are clearly part of some routine he has. I feel shitty for messing with it, particularly if it could cause him distress. One of my friends has Asbergers and he freaks out if his routine is messed with, so I thought it might be a similar case with Jason.

Sorry about the length folks, and yeah pretty banal story, but I'd like to know if I'm being a dick here, or how I could have handled it better.

TL:DR - AITA for getting fed up with a (I assume) special needs guy for constantly turning up his music and annoying myself and the people around him?
