When I was in high school biology, we did these group projects that we had to present to the class. Each group had a certain body system, and we had the excretory system. As a little bonus, we decided to read Everyone Poops as part of our presentation. None of us owned the book, so I was stuck looking at the library. They did not own it, so I asked to interlibrary loan it. At first, the librarians looked at me like I was a bit off, and I tried to explain why I was requesting a children's book about pooping. It was an awkward moment.
I work in a public library and have to say I agree about NOT sitting in the comfy, oversized chairs or couches!! DISGROSSTING!!! *That's "disgusting" and "gross" all in one!! ;) LOL* The stories I could tell you about things people do in the stacks, or even in the bathrooms.... Even things found in the bathrooms!!! EWWWWWWW!!!

Here's my funniest bookstore story. I was about 25, and my friend Sam and I were in the b dalton's at the mall. We were over by the spiritual/ new age/occult stuff and there were these three boys, about 14-15 or so, over there poring over a copy of the necronomicon or something similar. Anyway, they're talking about how this one passage has some spell in it that would leave girls powerless to resist their sexual advances, and trust me, these little pizza-faces needed all the help they could get. Their quandary-- there was only one copy of the book, and none of them had the 5.95 on them to buy it with, and surely such hot stuff as this would be snapped up by someone else before they could get the money. So they looked around, figured out there was a small space between the wall and the metal book rack, and decided to drop the book down in the space and go hit up one of their moms for some cash. This they do. As soon as they leave, I replaced the hidden book with some religious tome or other -- something unbelievably "all sinners shall pay" -- and we snuck out. I've always wondered what they thought when they came back.
Jennifer, that is pretty funny. Their reactions had to have been priceless.
