Patron: Your desk is a mess.
Jody: Good morning!
Patron: You shouldn’t keep so many things here.
Jody: Well the drawers are full.
Patron: Someone should fine you library people for a change.
Jody: Ah. So you’re angry because you owe us money?
Patron: No. I’m here to book your meeting room for my homeowner’s association.
Jody: You should have opened with that. And then stuck with it.

Desk is a “mess?” Is she kidding? I haven’t been able to even _find_ my desk in years! The ref desk where Jody maintains her post is what I call one super-neat work surface! This is obviously a patron who drags her negativity around with her and is not just ready to pounce, but does so before anyone even says “good morning.”

She’s there to book an HOA meeting. You know, HOA’s, those groups who think your property is too messy and fine you if you dare to park *your* vehicle in *your* driveway.
