My cw was telling me this story when we were interrupted in the middle of it. Monday a patron goes up to my cw and says there is a guy in the women's restroom. So cw goes to the bathroom and sees a woman drinking beer. She has two 21 oz (or 20 oz? I don't know beer sizes besides 12 oz). Cw told her she shouldn't be drinking in the library, and the person says, "I know" in a "but-I-can't-help-it" voice.
At this point we were interrupted and I had to help a patron.
After I help the patron I see my cw talking to a security guard. I walk around a guy with a baby in a stroller and go up to my cw.
me: hey. So what was with the guy?
security guard: Don't you think you should have said excuse me?
I was confused. Should I have told the guy in the stroller excuse me?
security guard: I was talking to her.
me:...(to cw) ok, I'll talk to you latter.
cw: no, no! let me finish telling you the story.
me: no (walking away) I'll talk to you latter.
but cw followed me and told me the rest of the story.
She figured that the woman who came up to her first heard burping in the bathroom so figured it was a man in there.
Anyway, it was rude for me to not say "excuse me." But I wasn't thinking, and the way she said it with an attitude, I just wanted to get away from it.
