Glad that it is as humorous as it sounds. There are quite amusing questions when you work with people on a regular basis.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934013997287873287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600022529355932646.post-34430877654323715162012-05-24T16:34:13.052+01:002012-05-24T16:34:13.052+01:00You definitely do - for all booksellers and dispen...You definitely do - for all booksellers and dispensers of literature this is priceless!<br /><br />As a librarian, I can definitely identify with the expectation that we know everything. Literally everything. Even the title of the blue book you read when you were 15. Haha, gotta love 'em :)Matthew Selwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723650905588749638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600022529355932646.post-15317948086304710972012-05-24T11:15:28.292+01:002012-05-24T11:15:28.292+01:00As someone who worked in a bookstore for years, I ...As someone who worked in a bookstore for years, I need to read this! And own it! <br /><br />Honestly, the awful customers kind of ruined the experience of being in a literary environment for me. Example: The time the lady yelled at me on the phone because I didn't know exactly to what she was referring when she asked for the 'pretty German book' we had on display four months ago. :/Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957349442523993974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600022529355932646.post-81611610322216169892012-05-13T22:03:14.015+01:002012-05-13T22:03:14.015+01:00Haha, yep I know what you mean.

I am definitely one for being a bit of a twit, a lot of the time, but other readers definitely keep you on your toes with their oddities ;)Matthew Selwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723650905588749638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600022529355932646.post-1866634681758419852012-05-11T12:39:22.740+01:002012-05-11T12:39:22.740+01:00"You can count the candles." :D
As Jen s..."You can count the candles." :D<br />As Jen said, we all say weird things (and some of us are overall just ridiculous:)), but when it comes to books, I'm really sensitive. One of my friends (and she's a smart girl!) keeps mixing up Jane Austen and Jane Eyre all the time. She always corrects herself though and I try to appear calm, but I'm dying inside! :)Petrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04105257413922668294noreply@blogger.com
