"So yeah, um, there's this... Israeli film... made about four years ago. I saw a clip of it once. And... um, I was just wondering if you had it?"

"Have you looked on the catalogue?"

"Um, well... I don't know what it's called... I was just wondering if you had it?"

"I don't know what it is."

"It's an Israeli film. I was just wondering if you had it. I saw a clip of it once."

"There's more than one Israeli film."

"Yeah... but... do you have it?"

"Well, the Arab and Islamic Centre have a collection of several hundred Israeli and Arab videos, and we have a small Arabic section here, but I have no idea what film you're talking about."

"So you don't have it?"

"I don't know. We might. I don't know what it is."

"How would you find out?"

"I can't without a title or a director."

"I was just wondering if you had it?"

*murderous glare*

"OK, thanks. Bye."

... exactly, that's all people can do here, knock knock

Omg this is every day of my life.

'Shit, shit, I have to watch a film for Spanish class in two hours time, have you got it?'
'Ok, which film is it?'
'I don't know what it's called, the tutor said it was here'.
'It probably is, but we have about 100 Spanish films'.
'Well it's just the one we have to watch for class'.
'Do you not have the title written down anywhere?'
'*gibber*'
'Ok, let's think. Is it Butterfly's Tongue/Like Water for Chocolate/Amores Perros by any chance?'
'Yes! Yes, that's it!'
'Right. Let's see. Sorry, somebody else is watching it right now.'
'Arrrgh! But how are we supposed to come and watch it if there's only one copy?'
'Um, you could have tried not leaving it to the last minute?'
'This is ridiculous!' *flounces out*

Don't know what FF fans have to do with it though.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

This particular dead-eyed cunt was wearing an FF t-shirt, you see.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

I would personally like to use the fucking of Franz Ferdinand fans (since I am one and we can let the album play and sing along if we must) as a form of stress relief after dealing with this type of interaction.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

FF fan: i'm looking for this film
Sick Mouthy: do you know the title?
FF fan: err... don't you know?
Sick Mouthy: you don't know?
FF fan: er.. nope, but i want to ... take it out!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

Are you coming on to me, Miccio? Cos, like, I'm kinda your boss at Stylus in a very vague not-actual way. I could... have you disciplined...

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

I was under the impression only superficial girls who only like rock when you can dance to it and the band is cute liked Franz Ferdinand. Them and me.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

arf asch

― Alienus Quam Reproba (blueski), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

First Mandy Moore, then Southall... Miccio is spreading the "love" this week.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

that's almost the demographics of Red Bull Dozers fans.. apart from the being able to dance to it bit.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

But you want to fuck me, right, Anthony?

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

Yes. In your vagina.

― miccio (miccio), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:46 (twenty years ago)

Based on the title, I was certain this would be a JW thread.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

The Mangina Lives!

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

i don't get what connects Frank Frangipanz to Israeli cinema tho?

man i miss working at a video/record store. everybody is always looking for things but they don't know what they are.

and kids in foreign language classes... always wait til the last minute. being annoyed at them for being so annoyed at you is so so fun.

― carly, Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

I am not having fun :(
Must be doing it wrong.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:52 (twenty years ago)

it's just that their annoyance at you, the clerk, is so ludicrous. it's nice to be a saviour for the foreign language student when you can, if the film is in, but if they are going to be little bitches when they wait til the last minute and you can't help them, it's satisfying to shrug and be annoyed at them.
i can't believe how apt the title of this thread is for no conscious reason.

― cr, Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:58 (twenty years ago)

I am too nice to them, that's my problem. My fellow resources coordinator on the other hand has this terrifying German stare which she fixes on them, and she won't help them out with suggestions or in fact move a muscle unless they speak in a complete intelligible sentence and give full bibliographic etc details, date of birth, and what they had for breakfast. Which is probably a better approach.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

I am a little more direct when it comes to Reserves and therefore most conversations go like this:

"I need a book on Reserves. *gives title or author or class, not call number*"

"Okay, you go to ANTPAC Web, search by Course Reserves, look for your book and then bring us the call number."

"Oh, okay."

Repetitive over time but you only have to tell each of them once.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:08 (twenty years ago)

hmm.. the annoyance at them is only fun if they behave ridiculously badly. if they are just needy and upset, it's less fun. it's when they know nothing about what they are looking for, expect you to know somehow, and then get disgruntled and angry at YOU that it's time to fix them with that germanic stare.
i tended to approach these situations with a positive helpful attitude, and it was maddening to be met with a condescending and angry attitude in response.

― cr, Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:09 (twenty years ago)

Ned - I jst say "Come back with the classmark." Most of them walk out of the library after that, actually.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

I've yet to have them do that when I tell them. I suppose I am more winning. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:38 (twenty years ago)

Library Clerks - C/D?

― Girolamo Savonarola, Thursday, 10 February 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

When I was a library shelver, I always did my best to help attractive, polite people. Rude ugly people - Business students tending to be noticeably ruder than others - didn't get any help, to the extent, on one occasion, of me going through the whole "have you looked for it on the catalogue? Do you know the shelfmark" routine when I was holding the book in question, ready to reshelve it. The student didn't notice.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 10 February 2005 20:12 (twenty years ago)

heh, i thought this was a jon williams thead.
