Here are some funny testimonies from bookstore employees who have suffered at the hands of the public.
1. “I’d like to return a book”
2. “Our friend is really weird.”
3. “I can’t take back this sticky book”
4. “Do you have any mohair wool?” (scroll down five items for this great call from a philistine)

Those are great. All I’ve got to compare to them is my guy who got all bent out of shape because my e-mails to him showed up in blue lettering.
Yes, but that guy was loony and fits easily in this list.
I just saw news today that this collection of funny things customers say in bookshops will be printed with illustrations in England.
Those were good for a laugh, especially the one with the customer who finally realized the connection between water and moisture.
I guess to be honest I don’t blame someone for thinking that a store named “Spinning Yarns” might be a store that sells yarn, mohair, etc., but it seems strange that they still wouldn’t get it after it was explained to them, or get all huffy about it.
It’s “Ripping Yarns” though. Follow the link.
Oops, I had followed the link, and was going by memory, obviously faulty.
