TFW you are helping a patron and trying to answer a question but then they interrupt you with another one. and then they keep on doing it until you are so confused you just want them to leave.

uggh. just got a complaint about someone on the phone in the computer lab. don't make me the bad guy for asking you to go outside. c'mon! now she gonna sit there act like she wasn't clearly on her phone. 🙄

Everyday, without fail, I encounter a patron who has never printed before. Which is fine, what kills me is when we try to explain "log into the printer station to release your print job" and then they can't find the printer station. gee. where could it be? I wonder....

What is the deal with study rooms? I just had a lady use it for 20 mins and say she had to leave but if she came back if she could still use it, because "i haven't used it at all" "sorry, first come first serve" "oh all right"

question I just had "ok I found the books on hold, where are the other ones?" me taking a stab in the dark: "the books?" I say looking over at the shelves and she responds "the ones on tape" words. I wish you would use them

I feel like I shouldn't have to explain this, but here it goes. If there are paramedics in the building i may have more important things going on then helping you "print less pages" or figure out how the printer station works. i suppose you can still walk out. that's fine by me.

It seems that may people run into problems by blindly wandering around. How many times do I need to read the screen to people perfectly able to read for themselves? they make me read it because they just seem to sit there and panic because "it's not working".

That feeling when someone asks you "how do I send an email". especially if that person is a teenager.

recently started working in the reference department. I am finding most of my job is looking over someones shoulder "helping them with the computer" while they just click random buttons and don't listen to my suggestions.
