Strange is never ending

Yesterday afternoon, I was at the reference desk with my supervisor. I was telling him about an article I was reading online. A patron walks past and tells me to SHUT UP! Just in case I wasn't sure, he looked me dead in my face.

The same patron proceeded to walk around the reference desk. He was eyeing women up and down as he walked.

My supervisor asked me what I wanted to do. I told him that I wanted to see if there was something wrong with the patron. My supervisor went in search of the patron. As the patron rounded the reference desk for the second time, he looked at me and placed his index finger to his lips and said, "Ssshhh." He then went to a table not far from me to sit down.

My supervisor began to question the patron about his actions. The patron began yelling and telling my supervior that maybe he needed to go downstairs and speak with security.

I called security and told them to send someone up so that they could escort the patron out of the building.

I was helping another patron when security arrived. On my way back to the reference desk, I passed the security guard, my supervisor, and the patron talking. Dude had the nerve to say as I was passing that he did not tell me to shut up. I did that 'Linda Blair' turn, with my hands on my hips and said, "YES, YOU DID TELL ME TO SHUT UP!" The security guard peeped my attitude, and told the patron, "Let's go."

That's is only one incident, it was like that all afternoon yesterday.

You hit the nail on the head. The guard came up later and said, "You know dude was missing a few links!"

Rashan,
Sunday thru Thursday, all day long. It doesn't help when my co-worker will see them coming and desert the ref. desk, just so he doesn't have to deal with them.

No, I don't need an exorcism, but I sometimes wonder about the patrons.
