today's pet peeves

* borderline types who ask where to find a book and use your answer as a springboard to power a lecture about where it SHOULD be filed.

WELL ACTUALLY ALICE IN WONDERLAND IS HARDLY A CHILDRENS' BOOK! IT HAS MATHEMATICS, PHILOSOPHY...YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND ALICE IN WONDERLAND!
CHILDRENS...HAR HAR HAR!

* freaks who lapse into dialect for no reason.

A long haired renfaire refugee regaled me in a terrible fake Irish accent for the crime of showing him where to find Joseph Campbell.

Ach, sure and begorrah, you'll be wanting some hair of the dog after this long trip!
