Why would u sit there?!

[Amina516]

So, Im walking through Barnes and Noble, drinking some yummy starbucks when I came across something that pissed me off to no end. Now, they have the very tall bookshelves that show u the cover instead of the spine and often stack books at the bottom, these are the bargain books.

As I swing around the first bargain shelf I come across not one but two tards sitting on the books!!They were sitting on BOOKS that other people may want to buy, and they were less than 20 feet from the cafe seating area.

I was half tempted to ask them to move and pretend to be interested in the books they smeared their asses on, just so that they'd get up... I dont know. I guess I couldve went to an employee and informed them but my husband thinks I was overreacting..

Any bibliophiles want to chime in on this?

Uh, they were what?

A swift application of foot covering to the rear was called for there, definately let staff know.

Link appears to be safe for work...no naughty bits showing. Its just a short review.

I'm like KaySquirrel...my books and my bags don't get along. So only time books get sat on is if I really really want to fix the cover. But deliberately sitting on a stack of books for no real purpose? No way.

What are you expecting ? If they're to lazy to walk 5m, obviously they are the type that will seat their lazy butt anywhere they can.

"Excuse me, but does that relly look like a chair to you?" Was a common phrase back when I went to B&N a lot.

I would of probably said something snarky and then informed a staff number. Seriously WTF is wrong with people!

I wish I had said something....I was in shock that people even thought that to be an option and my hubby said I was just overreacting...lol. Next time Im not listening to him, you wouldnt believe how often he's wrong..

The thing is, though.. I wouldn't have said anything to the kids sitting on the books.

Thats just it, they WERENT kids....at least, Ive never seen a 15 year old with a shiny forehead due to receeding hairline/bald head and handlebar moustache...
