One of the stated rules at the library is no sleeping.
Saturday I was helping one man and passed a woman asleep, so I say, "ma'm, ma'm" until she wakes up and I say nicely, "You have to stay awake. There is no sleeping in the library."
I finish helping the guy and she comes up to me:
Me:
rch: race card holder
rch: We're you the one who woke me up?
me: Yes.
rch: Well there was a woman asleep on the couch and you didn't wake her up, last week.
me: did I know she was asleep?
rch: no.
me: I'm not a mind reader, I didn't know she was asleep but if you have told me I would have woken her up.
rch: Well that's not my job! You are prejudice! You woke me up but not the other woman.
She wanders off, but protesting loudly so I told her.
Me: ma'm, if I wasn't helping that guy I wouldn't have noticed you were asleep.
So I start to help a man at a copy machine:
man: you should ban those homeless people.
She wasn't homeless or homeless looking. *sigh* he certainly jumped the gun, but in general he was nice.
Then the rch comes up to the guy as I'm helping him and she asks him, "where is a supervisor".
Me: If you don't want to talk to me, go to my co-worker over there and he'll get you a supervisor.
So far I havn't heard anything about her.
Now I might be off the mark, but I feel everything that has gone against her she would blame on race. She didn't get a good grade in school, it's about her race. Someone doesn't ask her if she needs help to take her groceries to the car, it's about her race. I really hate the race card.
Or maybe it isn't race. Maybe she thinks I'm prejudice against pink scarves, like the one she was wearing.
