Ow. My Wrist.

[fuzzybluemonkeys]

There is a library book that has multiple chapters* worth of this bullshit:




I erased most of it on Tuesday and my wrist still hurts.

Why? Why would you write in a library book that does not belong to you? Why would you underline an entire chapter worth of text instead of just making some notation about how chapters 5-7 are the ones you need to use? Why can't you just make some photocopies? Why can't you just take notes? Why do you do these things to the point where I have to hurt myself undoing them?

*I decided to forgo actually counting how many chapters because then instead of reading this you'd be reading about the Princeton employee who went on a killing spree and first stabbed her victims in the right hand with a pencil before shoving an eraser down each one's throat.

I can't erase the pen, but the rest of it has to go.

WHY WOULD YOU WRITE IN A LIBRARY BOOK?

What the fuck? Seriously, what thundering chunderfuck would do that to a library book? Actually, what fuck would do that to ANY book, but particularly a BOOK THEY DIDN'T OWN????

I ask myself these questions all the time as I am slaving away with an eraser on these things. And then there's the folks who rip pages out and/or cut pictures out of library books. I hate them all. It's getting to be the time of year when they do the Freshman orientation of the library, and every year I'm like, they seriously need a seminar/lecture/sermon/something aspect about library book etiquette. Starting with LIBRARY BOOKS DO NOT BELONG TO YOU and ending with DON'T DEFACE THEM.
