Funny things to say to the librarian

[DinosaurNothlit]

*put a book from one shelf onto a different shelf*
"There.  I have now shamelessly destroyed the symmetry of this shelf, undoing hours of labor by underpaid library employees."

Where'd that one come from?

Book #49.  Ax does something similar in a grocery store.

[SkyMorpher]

Oh yeah, I thought of that. The convenience store thing.

*go into the library with a library card with parts of it whited out*
Librarian: "Excuse me, this card doesn't have your last name on it . . ."
You: "I can't tell you my last name.  You might be one of them."
Librarian: ". . . Oookay.  Er, it doesn't say where you live, either."
You: "I can't tell you where I live.  Just believe me when I say it's a real town.  It could even be your town."
Librarian: " . . . "

"Can you please hurry it up a little?  I've got, like, five minutes left in this morph."

"You know what they say.  Know your friends well, know your enemies better."  *serious nod*

*put a book from one shelf onto a different shelf*

Woah, what kinda library card do you have? I think having your address on a library card violates certain privacy laws... o_O

My library card only contains my last name and is read by a computer for more specific details like phone number and adress.

Anyway.

"Me like reading at paper"

[DinosaurNothlit]

Okay, okay, so I actually don't know anything about library cards.  I just figured that different libraries would have different rules, and so somewhere there had to be a library card with an address on it.

*upon returning a book*
"This book was not very tasty.  It could have used some grease-uh and salt."

"I am sorry if this book is overdue, I was trapped in a morph as a caterpillar and I had to wait until I turned into a butterfly to morph back....turns out morphs by nature resets your morphing clock"

I live in Contra Costa County, California. The libraries in this county work as a group, as branches. You get one library card with your signature, a barcode, and the a number. Most numbers I've seen start out "2 1901" and I've memorized my old library card number that no longer works (but I haven't memorized my current number!) My old number (don't bother trying, you'd need the last four digits of my phone number) was 2 1901 01362 5904.
Anyway, all of the CCC libraries I've been in have self-checkout machines, where it scans the barcodes on the book(s) and your card. In other words, dealing with a librarian just to check out a book is optional.

Yeah, but why miss a perfectly good chance to mess with people?

We have that where I work, but not all libraries in our system do. (we aren't branches, although it was that way where I grew up. We're a group of city libraries in association, and then several systems are combined as one big northern Illinois system. And no, Chicago isn't part of us, although they're in the expanded system. CPL's a system of its own, with branches.)And I still notice a lot of patrons using the desk check-out.

Our cards are kinda like that but they all start with 2 I think. 2 means it's a patron/card, 3 is the book prefix. Then four numbers, then five, then four.

For the longest time, our only web access was through the local library, on Asher's mother's account. Her mum would send us to look up a job site on MapQuest and print it off for her, and that bought us a good half hour online time. We still have the old number memorized, 2 0183 0054 94265. :]

[AllyVP]

We have automatic checkout machines to, but I agree.  it's just too fun.  and i've actually used a couple of these.  so incredibly entertaining.  hard to keep a straight face tho. 

as for having my number memorized, HA!! i have a miniature library card attached to my keys and my computer remembers it.  i sure as hell don't know it.

You know those librarians who look at us adults weird when we check out the Animorph books?  Well, to entertain myself I have decided to say the most outrageous things possible when they do that.

my two ideas so far (oh, i'm 20):

*big smile*
"I'm reading CHAPTER books now!"

and

"Yeah, my 10 year old son discovered these and just LOVES them."

Any ideas?  I really want to run with this but I lack in the creatively-messing-with-people department.

Get me a Happy Meal with extra happy.

"Do you have any Canadese editions of these books?"

Slaps The Deception down on desk "I was up for hours reading this one. Was George R.R. Martin the ghostwriter?

"It's... it's not what it looks like." stands there looking embarassed, then bolts
