Default Things Said to Librarians

When I get out, I am a frequent patron of libraries, but I assure you that although these quotes are real, I didn't say any of them:

"Do you have books here?"

"Do you have a list of all the books written in the English language?"

"Can you tell me why so many famous Civil War battles were fought on National Park sites?"

"Which outlets in the library are appropriate for my hairdryer?"

"I need a color photograph of George Washington." -- Other individuals asked for, by other patrons, are Christopher Columbus, King Arthur, Moses, Socrates, and more.

"Do you have any books with photographs of dinosaurs?"

"I'm looking for information on carpal tunnel syndrome. I think I'm having trouble with it in my neck."

"Is the basement upstairs?"

"I am looking for a list of laws that I can break that would send me back to jail for a couple of months."

"I got a quote from a book I turned in last week but I forgot to write down the author and title. It's big and red, and I found it on the top shelf. Can you find it for me?"

"Do you have anything good to read?" -- The response was, "No, ma'am. I'm afraid we have 75,000 books, and they're all duds."

Finally, a conversation between a librarian and a patron (this wasn't me either):

Patron: "I am looking for a globe of the earth."
Librarian: "We have a table-top model over here."
Patron: "No, that's not good enough. Don't you have a life-size?"
Librarian: (pause) "Yes, but it's in use right now."

Though the actual merit of this use is in debate

Very funny, must be almost amusing to be a librarian.

I think that one is cute 'cause I can picture a little kid asking that. If not, it's just sad

understand it's a curse
you've got trouble in your blood
write a song second verse
underneath it there's love
recognize the things you do
you make a mess with baby you know who
it sounds impossible but man it's true
you are the bad
the bad seed of this town
