Homeless Guy #1: “Damn! I just got kicked out of the library! Damn!”
Homeless Guy #2: “What did you do, man?”
#1: “I don’t know.”
#2: “Aren’t you drunk?”
#1: “Well, yeah. Also, I might have been looking at dirty pictures on the computer.”
#2: “Aw, that’s not so bad.”
#1: “And they said I was being disrespectful to the librarians.”
#2: [freaking out] “No way, man! You can never, never disrespect the librarians! Always respect librarians! What were you thinking? Are you an idiot?”

—Overheard by librarian on break outside the Boulder (Colo.) Public Library, reported in the Overheard in the Office website, Mar. 26.

    Public internet access was disabled at a local library around here last year because homeless guys were going in there and looking at porn :(

    But yah, always respect the librarians.
