Feb. 13th, 2002 01:25 amOk, I did come up with something to put down: my work related pet peeves.
1. People who don't bother looking for their cards until it's their turn in line and they haven't a clue where they put them. This is so rude. Would you go to a store and wait until after your order has been rung up to start filling out your check?
2. I really hate it when I ask people if they want a bag and they ask "Do you have one?" No, actually, I *don't* have one.
3. People who want me to find them a book but don't know the author or the title.
4. People who want the "latest Danielle Steele novel". She writes five a year, people. Gimme a title, for God's sake.
5. People who never pay off their daamed fines. My God! It's only ten cents a day!
6. People who claim multiple items returns. *We* lost five items? Really? Are you sure you returned them? Absolutely? How about looking at home, where you will shortly find them all. Thanks so much.
7. People who know perfectly well when we close, and yet insist upon coming in about two minutes before we lock the doors and staying for fifteen minutes. The one person I have in mind even has a tendency to yell at whoever has the gall to mention that we're closing. This one really steams me, especially since this person doesn't even check things out and help our circulation.
Libraries are a free service. Could you imagine having to buy all the books, CDs, and movies you get to use for free because of libraries? Have a little consideration. This would include not putting gum into your book bags. Thank you.
