ocb : old crazy bitch
me :
cw: one of my cws that I get along with and doesn't start shit with me.
me answering phone around 11 am: this is X public library, how may I help you.
ocb: honey, can you tell me, I was looking for the number Billy Grahams, of Franklin Graham ministries. If you don't find Franklin Graham ministries give me Billy Grahama ministries baby.
me: alright, Franklin Graham ministries, but pleas do no call me baby.
note: most people might say, "aw, but that was cute that she called you honey or baby." Others might say "at least she didn't call you bitch." But I just don't like being called "baby".
I place her on hold and I find the number. I see it's not toll-free and hope she doesn't have a fit for that.
me: the phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx.
ocb: alright, now you didn't tell me your name when you told me not to call you baby.
me: It's Miss Fan
ocb: Well I'm going to call you Wicked Witch of the West.
me: you too!
So now it's after lunch and the ocb called again. I see her name on our caller id.
me: This is the wicked witch of the west.
ocb: hi wicked witch of the west, I need....
me: you were very rude to me.
ocb: *foaming at the mouth crazy, I forgot what she said.*
me : *hangs up*
cw asks what happened, I tell him, he says send the call to him when she calls back. She does call back but he's on the phone with another customer.
me: this is X Public Library.
ocb: I need the number to (name of some famous minister), bishop (famous minister).
me: I'm sorry, I'm not going to help you because you were rude to me.
ocb: I WANT TO TALK TO YOU SUPERVISOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me: no, sorry, you were rude to me.
ocb: *really foaming at the mouth* I WANT TO TALK TO YOU SUPERVISOR YOU BITCH!!!!!!
me: *I want to tell her, oh, keep on yelling, I want you to have an anurism. Of course, I really dont' mean it
* I'm sorry, you were really rude to me. *hangs up on her*
So far she hasn't called back. Wish we had a way to block numbers.
Bonus, one of our crazy people called, saying he didn't have a title of a book but if he gave me the info about the book can I find it? I asked if he had the author and he said no. Then he told me it was "reading the bible for the love of God." I asked him if that was the subject but he said no, it was the title
Then another of our regulars (religious-question asking- rqa) called. He called yesterday, talking about a friend he hadn't seen in 30 years and wanted to know why he was so thin and "the gold light in his eyes are gone. Today conversation:
rqa: beyond gold.
me: um, yes?
rqa: what is beyond gold?
me: *thinking, on the periodic table?* Is that a book?
rqa: no, in Christianity, there is beyond gold. What could that be?
me: I'll google it.
of course, I find nothing, except something about sports.
