This happened a month ago; it's taken me a while to get over it.
me:
ci: supervisor/cw
cp1: crazy person 1/Bernard
cp2: crazy person 2
sec: security
It was a Saturday, last hour. I was with a supervisor working the desk. The floor we are on has public-use computers and study rooms. The study rooms used to be open, first come first served, but people would camp out all day in the rooms (not studying, sometimes leaving their stuff there for an hour) and when someoen asked for a study room, we coudlnt' offer them one. So we now sign out the rooms for 2 hours, but if no one is waiting, they can stay in (but if they leave for more than 10 min, leaving their stuff in there, we can get security to take their stuff). This supervisor keeps on thinking you can only be in a study room for 2 hours. So she goes to one guy and tells him he's been all day. There is some type of altercation, which she backs down from.
I see people asleep and I go to them and tell them, "excuse me, you can't sleep in the library." cp1 tells me, "I'm not asleep." I tell him, "just stay awake." cp1 says, "get out of my face."
So I go to my desk. cp1 is facing the opposite direction from where I'm standing, but he cranes his head around so he can stare at me. I ask my supervisor if I can call security, (because there are rules about customers staring at us). CI tells me that I needed to calm down and not start anything.
This is why I hate this job; no supervisor or manager or cw stands up for me.
I got sick of cp1 staring at me, so I go to him and ask him to stop. cp2, who is on a computer and has nothing to do with cp1 (ie, not his friend), starts spewing stuff at me. I told cp2, "if you don't stop causing me problems, I will turn off your computer."
So cp2 goes away, and I decide to call security. Security comes and talks to cp1, and security thinks the guy is on drugs, since his eyes are all red. I noticed that the eyes were red, but didn't register that they were. So I find out from security that the guy is probably on drugs. Security can't do anything about it since there is no proof. Security did tell cp1 to not look in my direction or else he will get kicked out. So cp1 comes up to me, all smiles, doesn't really apologize but says it's a misunderstanding, introduces himself as Bernard, wants my name and is very friendly to me. ugh.
cp2 went to a manager to complain about me. Of course, nothing he said was coherant, except that I was rude to him. He comes back up, and of course his computer turns over to the next person since cp2 was gone for more than 5 min. He started to get upset and asked a guy nearby, "did she turn of my computer ?!?!?!" and luckily the other guy told him that I didn't do anything to it, that after 5 min. it goes to the next person.

As soon as I read that I pictured this big sign in the library saying, "NO STARING"
