library

Shhhh! You're in a library. A sacred hall of knowledge. We know you read everything online, but there is such a thing as a quiet place to read and seek out knowledge that doesn't require noise-cancelling headphones and a long battery life. So put down your smartphone, tablet, or computer and pick up a paperback. It won't bite, we think.

'Entitled woman is fuming at how loud I am': Library assistant loudly eats nachos during meeting with trustees because 'it's policy'

'Entitled woman is fuming at how loud I am': Library assistant loudly eats nachos during meeting with trustees because 'it's policy'

This worker shared a day in the life of their job as a library assistant . Though it seems like a whimsical job, there's apparently much more to working in a library than meets the eye. This person writes that they had jobs at two different library branches. One of these jobs was a piece of cake, while the other was home to some rather haughty trustees. As u/localanimenerd shared in their malicious compliance story , they've realized that one trustee in particular seems to dislike them. The sto…

‘I stopped coming in one hour early’: Boss gets fired for causing University worker to stop volunteering unpaid work hours, leading to worker's promotion

'Enter my boss, who, for a University educated manager of a university group, had the personality of a mid-19th Century mill owner', are OP's exact words when describing their boss, who really stepped on the wrong person's toes when he lashed out at OP when he saw him reading a newspaper at work. What characteristics does such a personality entail? Well, entitled, rude, and arrogant to start. If you'd like me to use some more descriptive words, I'm afraid I cannot… so your imagination must suff…

grandma granny gran banned library libraries librarian librarians karen karens-in-the-wild entitled mother reddit entitled-people reddit-thread books book reading berzerk

'What did I tell you about coming here again?!; You have been banned!': Mousy librarian flips a switch and rebukes a rampaging Karen, telling her off and running her out of the library for good

Bookish kids will always remember the day they got their library card. Perhaps it's because this is the first card you ever authenticate with a signature at the bottom, or perhaps it's because you had unlimited access to all the books in the world and finally had a friendly old lady who was willing to point you towards your next adventure. And everyone knows that friendly librarians are the ultimate pseudo-granny.

thief thieves boss bad-boss stolen found lost-and-found lost and found klepto kleptomaniac petty-revenge malicious-compliance mc reddit work coworkers employees managers library librarian

'If he says it's his, it's his': Boss insists on giving away 'lost & found' items to whomever claims them, until a thieving regular takes something that's hers

Kleptomaniacs come in many forms. Bank robbers, snatch-and-grabbers, check-out chocolate bar thieves, and public transit backpack rummagers are all some form of thieving-obsessed klepto. Although most klepto's dream of being a bank robber like in the movies, nobody has the stones or the brains to pull a job that big, so instead, they head over to their local library to get their thieving fix.

'I blocked her account': Librarian gets revenge on a rude patron, unearthing a $480 late fee that had been previously waived to freeze the account for good

'I blocked her account': Librarian gets revenge on a rude patron, unearthing a $480 late fee that had been previously waived

If you've ever worked in customer service, you know you have dealt with some dicey patrons. Not everyone has the guts to do what needs to be done with every customer confrontation and most folks lean on their one sassy manager who walks fast, talks loud, and shuts down every local Karen before they can get too ramped up. However, as a librarian, you can't necessarily strong-arm every bad patron with your big voice in the ‘Quiet Reading’ section.
