Questions that annoy me
- Where's the restroom? (Big sign says: RESTROOMS)
- What time is it? (There are at least 10 clocks on the walls)
- How do I print? (How about using the actual printer?)
- How do I check my e-mail? (Have you seen a computer before?)
- Where are you from? (Irrelevant)
- Where are the books in Spanish? (How about where it says INTERNATIONAL?)
- Are you cold? (Why would I be wearing a sweater, a scarf or layers if I weren't cold?)
- May I use your phone? Can I borrow a pen? Can you give some sheets of paper? (The place where I work is not an Office Depot of sorts).
- How do I print? (And the person is looking at the copy machine...)
Have you considered having this available on your desk. You might consider re-working the title to make it even more consumer friendly. I suggest - "Before asking the Librarian, please read first; then, if your question isn't answered you may ask it if you must".
ReplyDeleteRambie, that's a good idea, but I can see problems with that approach as well. The public doesn't read signs. So, I am back at square one. Maybe I should start a READING SIGN campaign, what do you think?
