Stupid library kids!

[vloglady]

Okay, so I work in a public library. In the children's room. we open at 10am today.

We got 18 copies of Harry. people rush in. by 10:20, they're all gone, except for two audio books. kids grab them.

then a clerk brings them both back to the children's room. the kids don't want them. They thought they were the MOVIE version.

Wow ... kids are usually more savvy than that! It's usually the 50+ year olds, IME, that I've had that kind of thing with.

"Do you have blah blah blah movie?"

"Uh ... no, it's playing in the theatres, right now."

"Well, will it be in tomorrow?"

*very patiently* "It's in the theatres at this time ... we might have an available copy in, perhaps, 6 months to a year, depending on how well it does at the box office."

"I have to wait THAT long???!!!"

*sigh*

I was getting that from the old farts before "300" even opened! I even told one once that they'd have to take it up with the studio that produced the movie.

(Important question: why don't more stores have a bottomless pit in them?

I want a tube, like Mr Burns has, that leads to that club with all the men ordering the unlucky victim to dance.

I suppose these people don't know how movie theatres work.


"You go and pay them for a ticket. Then you get to sit in a big room with a big screen and watch the movie!"

"I have to wait THAT long???!!!"

"If you're too cheap to buy a ticket, then yes."

People don't want to wait

In January I mentioned to a friend that a movie presently playing should be available on DVD in September so I was adding it to my list of movies to rent for when I go up to the cabin for a week.

They were shocked that I was willing to wait so long before seeing it. To me a cabin in the middle of nowhere, just me, no phones, no roads, no interruptions, this is the perfect place to watch the films of my choice in peace and quiet. Is that so hard to understand?

What kind of movie was this? Your solitude seems pretty important.

Just kidding; that sounds like a very nice and relaxing time.

Best one I had. I was stocking 24: season 4 and it was out for maybe 2 weeks at this point, so it's in the summer lull for TV shows. On the case, it has a sticker that says to watch season 5 this fall. I got a moron coming up

L=Me!
M is for moron

M: Do you have season 5?
L: <looking for the camera> No...
M: Well why not?
L: Because season 4 just finished and they probably haven't even started taping season 5 yet.
M: Well when will you get it in?
L: Probably this time next year, when season 5 finishes.
M: Well this is ridiculous! Why should I have to wait that long! This is stupid.
L: No, stupid is expecting a TV season on DVD before it's even taped.

The Moron didn't get the insult and went off in a huff. A nearby customer did though and it took a lot to keep his composure.
