I've decided that I need to write down some of the strange but true experiences that fate kindly bestowed upon me over the past few years, before I start to forget them. Most of them came from, you guessed it, when I was working at the public library. The first tale is set in the summer of 2002, when I was working in the library before library school that fall, to see if it was something I wanted to keep doing. har dee har har.
This particular day I was working in the audiovisual department:
Patron - a black man in his thirties
Me - clueless
Me: Can I help you?
Patron: I'm looking for some sounds.
Me: Well sir, we have all kinds of CDs with sound effects. Train sounds, scary sounds...
Patron: No, no I want sex sounds, like with a woman.
Me: Uhhh....
Me: Umm, we don't have anything like that here....maybe you could try an adult store?
Patron: Well I know that! (turns around and walks off)
Stay tuned for our next story, "The Strong Woman of Queens."
