Three teens enter the library. Two of them approach my desk and one goes to the elevator.
miss thang: mt
her friend 1: hf1
her friend who didn't interact with me: og
oh, and mt spoke in in a really low voice
mt: (to friend you go on up (to me)I need (to friend) we'll meet you there (to me) )I need a computer card.
me: I'm sorry, what are you saying?
mt: I need a computer card
(Now let me say, she was looking at me rather blandly; her nose was almost up int the air.)
me: ok, your name?
mt: meany bitca (note, I'm making up the name)
me: excuse me?
mt: e-m, I mean m-e-a-n-y, i-b, b-i-t-c-a
me: wait, your last name again.
mt: b-i-t-c-a (now she is giving me a look like I'm a moron)
me: don't you know your name?
mt: yes (looking at me like I'm crazy)
me: ok, here it is.
mtcan I borrow a pen
me: what?
mt: *points to pen*
me: * leans over to hand over pen*
mt uses pen, then pushes it about an inch back in my direction. Giving me a look
me: Arn't you going to say thank you?
mt: no, *to hf1* you want a card?
hr1: ok.
me: what is your name?
hr1: Nice Girl
me: here you go.
hr1: thank you.
Not that I care that mt didn't say "thank you", it's just her whole manner like she was too good for the librarians.
I looked up her name and saw she had 10 computer use cards. She either loses them or doesn't want to bother keeping up with them. So I deleted her number from the system. She never came back.
