D for Duh @ Your Library
I wasn't @ work today @ my library, but my coworker kept me in the loop via email:
mom and teenage daughter (who looked like she was 30) come to the desk. Mother hands me a paperback book and points to the spine and asked what the sticker means (it was a D). I said that means the authors name starts with a D. That's how we file paperbacks by authors last name.
Her: "well isn't there any rating system on these books"
Me: "well, no; This book is an adult paperback best seller off of these racks right here"
her: "I know. that's ware we got it. Why isn't there a rating system on them?"
Me: "well, they are adult books for adults, we don't and the publishers don't put ratings on books."
I told her the young adult section was over there if she wanted more age appropriate books for her daughter.
Subsequently, her and her daughter got into a big fight by the paperback rack on what she was "allowed to read."
