A severe thunderstorm hit about 10 minutes before closing time this evening. Instead of leaving as soon as he heard the thunder, a man stayed until the bitter end. A minute before closing he came up to the reference desk and asked if we could give him an umbrella. Apparently he thinks one of our services is giving out free umbrellas when it's raining. Sigh...
Actually, we have people asking for headphones all the time, too. Which I guess isn't that outrageous, as we did lend out headphones at one time. But they kept breaking, and many of them walked away, so it was decided that we wouldn't offer them anymore.
People ask us for floppy discs, thumb drives, the use of our fax machine, coffee (the other day a guy asked if I could bring him a cup of coffee - I am not making this up), pencils, pens, paper clips, white-out, tape, the stapler, the hole punch, rubber bands, post-it notes, and, of course, paper. We're a free office supply center!
