Spotted on Not Always Right, and titled "An Offering To The Literary Gods," from a librarian:

(I’m sitting at the reference desk when a lady walks in with a beautiful bouquet in one hand, a bag full of freshly-baked loaves of bread in the other, and a ferocious scowl on her face. She comes to the desk and slams down the flowers.)

Lady: *growls* “Flowers for librarians!”

(She slams down the bread, then growls again.)

Lady: “Bread for librarians!”

(She then puts both hands on the desk and leans forward.)

Lady: *snarling* “Now find me a book!”

HOLY SHIT WOW

Well, I suppose that's better than coming up into one's personal space and staring at one's rack THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS

AHAHAHAH. It's true, you've got to make the right oblation if you want to guarantee your book is on hand. I just love how surly she is about it!

Oh, if only this happened in my library. We tend to get the whole 'I'm looking for a book, don't know the title, don't know the author...but it's blue' kind of thing.

Those are the best questions. Although this story definitely sounds like something straight from "Unshelved".

As a jeweler, I LOVE clients who at least recognize that they need to supply SOMETHING to get me to work. :)
