They are so rude, in this leapfroggerish way that you have so brilliantly described. There's this one woman in particular who is so abrasive that every once in a while I hear someone call her on it while she's being rude to them. (Most arguments have to do with signing in to use the internet on the computers.) It's like she always takes it to this bitchy place, even when there's no need. Seriously, she drives me crazy - I thought for a moment that you may have talked to her because I overheard her being rude to someone on the phone today. Maybe someday when I am rich and no longer need to use the library, I will go up to her and speak my mind. She's fairly young, and if being a librarian is not her thing, then she should find a new career that doesn't turn her into a mean, nasty bitch. Not that I don't sympathize when some raving lunatic approaches her desk wanting to print out the dictionary on the library's printer paper or going on about Alien literature, but seriously, why can't she be gentle with the elderly man who wants to volunteer instead of giving him the dead-eyed stare and telling him to drop off his application at the front desk as if he asked to eat her bra for dinner? PHEW! Venting here. Sorry. In terms of the book thing - usually the library will send you your books to your preferred branch. Maybe you can call the lady back up and ask her to send the book to Los Feliz for you? Hey Jeff – You should hear the ladies at the Los Feliz library talk to patrons.

I was trying to come up with a smartass leapfrogger reply to this, but I just can't do it. But I'll bet someone could make a leapfrogger response to *my* response... Huh, I just don’t have the knack.
