Dear Lady Who Yelled Out, “These assholes won’t let me on the innernet!” on Your Way out of the ‘brary,

Do you feel better now?

Did you get it all out of your system?

Do you realize that you referred to us as assholes because you were mad that we wouldn’t break the rules for you, princess? Sorry, but it’s a RULE. You were trying to use your husband’s card to access the patron computers. Too bad you didn’t know how. You probably could have gotten away with it if you’d known how. But it’s really not a big deal. All you need is YOUR OWN LIBRARY CARD.

And when you told us you didn’t have one we politely asked if you’d like to get one.

They’re free.

All you have to do is fill out your name and address, basically. We could have made you a library card in LESS than a minute. In a minute and a half you could have been surfing the “innernet” to your heart’s content. But no, princess. For some reason you huffed and puffed, freaked out, called someone on your cell phone, and yelled that we were assholes. Now, is that the proper response to the question, “Would you like to have your own library card? It won’t take a minute.”

I wish the door would’ve hit you on your ass on your way out,

jpj

****

i know it’s terribly hot out, you guys. we’re all feeling it. it’s making people crazy, and i get that. but damn, talk about a short fuse.
