Like the person who wanted be to help them with research for a school project, but didn't know what she needed to find out or do.
Or the guy who wanders around downstairs, talking to himself, rearranging magazines and books at random, and, when asked to not do that, replies to the HEAD Librarian, "You don't work here."
Or, for that matter, the little girl who had a half-hour hissy fit because the plastic cover to the VCR tape she rented wasn't blue like the last one.
People. Some of them, we could all do without.

In an odd bit of Forum synchronicity, there's a job opening at the local library for an assistant in the children's section. Thanks to your stories, First, I have not applied.
I'm quite fond of the guy who orders a pizza from work to be delivered to his home, then is mad when he finds out his order's been cancelled after I tried to deliver it and he wasn't home. "I wasn't home yet!" Tough shit, buddy.
Or the guy who took the pizza box from me, held it at an angle under his arm then complained that the pizza was messed up -- well, of course the pizza was messed up! What do you expect's going to happen when you hold the pizza box vertically? There's a reason you carry them flat.
The dude who wanted to pay for a $10 pie with a $100 bill holds a special place in my heart.
I am of course gratified by the pot smokers out there. I bring 'em $17.84 in pizza, they hand me a $50 and ask how much I want to give back. "Er, here's two bucks, enjoy!" There's nothing like a nearly thirty dollar tip to make your day.
Gotta love cops, too. "Do you know how fast you we...oh, hey, man. Nevermind, get back on the road."
HAH!

Say what you want about Asian school system, they may be boring, we have to wear same stupid uniform, take tons of lashes from the teacher...
But at least I don't have to face sawed off shot gun, or blown up by home made pipe bombs or get gutted by machete, or get beat up because you walk in on some punk dealing junks in the parking lot, etc.
Like I said, considering their counter parts, Asian schools are alllllll good.

At least you didn't fall for the old $200 bill in payment for the $2 order trick!

Well, but I've only got $20-so in change, and he didn't want to give me a $70 tip, so I wound up waiting 10 minutes while he looked for his checkbook. See, this is one of the things we do to avoid carrying too much money to make us un-appealing to robbers. Unlike the mom-and-pop carryout places.

God bless people like Jeff. Stealing from the potheads is a lot of fun AND profitable! *L*

It's not really stealing. I mean, they're consenting after all.
