The Dysfunctional Librarian

So, for the most part I find people pretty reasonable. But a couple things happened lately that really grossed me out. The first thing was in the Portland airport on the way to meet my sister. I was in the restroom and I heard a girl yacking away to a friend while she was in the stall. I thought her friend must be in the stall next to her. But, not so. She was on her cell phone. THE ENTIRE TIME. Flushing noises galore and it didn't see to phase her, in fact I don't know that she even considered she was doing something weird. I just had to laugh.

Secondly, this week at the public library I was helping a woman find some books. She was talking to me and started picking at a hang nail. She then proceeded to chew on the hang nail. Then she asked if she could borrow my scissors. Yeah, you guessed it, she used them to start hacking away at her stray hangnail. After leaving all kinds of wet, skanky, skin on the counter, she thanked me, handed me the scissors, and left. She seemed nice, but how could you do that to a person who has just helped you????? Then to top that off, as we were closing I had to clean up a napkin with big chunks of gross, half eaten smelly food in it. The person couldn't be bothered to drop it in a trash can.

I know that I am guilty of having others clean up for me. I leave cloths in the dressing room. I don't always put items back where I found them in a store. I'm not perfect, and I don't expect others to be. But come on people, don't be disgusting, that's all I'm asking!
