May. 1st, 2014 01:24 pmDear library patron,
When you ask me to put "that one Robin Hood movie" on hold, I really am going to ask you for more information. You needn't look at me as though it's a great burden for you to answer when I ask if you can remember any of the actors in it. Because there are approximately 60 million Robin Hood movies and I'm just trying to get you the one you actually want.
Dear other, even more irritating library patron,
A) Open Office Writer is really not the ideal computer program for trying to edit a photo. Because it is word processing software. Please stop talking to me like I'm stupid because I don't know how to add filters to an image in a program that isn't designed to do that.
B) When I tell you that we don't do certain things at this library, that is not an invitation to argue. We aren't going to let you use the scanner in the office that isn't available to the public and we aren't going to let you plug your flash drive into public printer. Yes, even though there's a port for it. Why not? Because we don't do that here.
