I look more rad than Lutheranism

I do customer support for books.

Okay, the image this gave me is hysterical:

Caller: "I can't open the book! The cover is stuck!!!"
Spidra: "Okay, sir, you're looking at the spine of the book. Flip it over, and then open the front cover."
Caller: "But the cover is stuck!!!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You laugh, Tep, but in my bookstore-slave years, I had any number of customers try to return books because they were upside-down. Occasionally, they had trouble believing that flipping the dust jacket which had been put on wrong had actually fixed the problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Occasionally, they had trouble believing that flipping the dust jacket which had been put on wrong had actually fixed the problem.

The most baffling part is that these people somehow managed to learn to read.

I'm getting the pig!

That's quite possibly one of the saddest things I've ever read. I had no idea that people could be so stupid. Wow.

The most baffling part is that these people somehow managed to learn to read.

This. So very much.

Happy Birthday, quester!

How do these people NOT get thinned out of the herd?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

You're supposed to say, "A La Peanut Butter Sandwiches!"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The bookstore complaint that I loved was when a customer returned a book, complaining that I didn't tell him that a book was missing 16 pages. Like I was supposed to make sure that every book we had in the store was bound correctly?
