"Hello, I graduated from college, can you tell me how many units I have?". My co-worker was stunned into silence for a few seconds.
"Yeah, I have a press release and I want to know if someone can tell me whether or not I should use one of the sentences."

" How do you spell Florence Night.engale's last name because it's not spelled like the bird.--This patron always calls with these crossword like questions.
"Why do I have to go into the library to read a reference book? Why can't you just look up what I need and read me the answers over the telephone.

When I get customers like this calling the bookstore, I do my best to blow off customers as quickly as I can. I do it nicely of course but you can only take so much

Some of my co-workers tell them to hold and then hang up.
Last Dec. a customer called to check on a magazine coming out in Jan. I put him on hold and took the next two customers. Then I got back on the phone and told him it wasn't in yet. Its the freakin holidays, I don't have time to check on a magazine coming out in Jan. He was trippin.
Ok, the last call is just PURE laziness at its finest. Its amazing what people think your job requirements are.
OMG...these are the laziest people. Really ridiculous!
