1. Tell me what to read ("what do you like?" "oh I'll read anything.") No you won't, you like Romances and I hand you American Psycho, Trainspotting or A Clockwork Orange you'll be none to pleased, (likewise if you like the above titles and I hand you a Mills & Boon) be a little less vague please!
2. But you can still read it. Yeah but your dog chewed to it up/your kid drew all over it/you spilled water on it and now it's swollen and will soon be mouldy. You wrecked someone else's book now you pay for it!
3. I don't want to use the self service, I don't want to take your job. Actually self service allows us to DO our jobs and not be a check out chick (mind you I do have the upmost respect for checkout chicks, no offence to them!) I have a brain and I'd like to use it thanks.
4. Are you guys all volunteers here? This one really gets up my nose... I have a post graduate degree, I've worked in academic and medical libraries, I am a professional, I'm not just here because I have a little extra time on my hands.
5. This must be such a relaxing place to work. Um, well it might be except for all the idiots that come in here!!

Michael Moore knows you don't want to piss off a Librarian...
