Incident Report

Date: Dec. 9, 2006
Time: 12:55 p.m.

Name(s) of individuals involved:
[Cat], F[at] G[uy] [who also stinks of the worst B.O. EVER]

Witnesses:
Lots of patrons in the area, no one paying attention that I’m aware of.

Description of incident:
I told him his Internet privileges had been blocked per [Librarian D] yesterday because she watched him renew his Internet time from the Ref Desk (on SAM). I told him that my understanding is that she had spoken to him about this. He said she had not, just told him to get off the net, which he did. He reiterated that "it renews my time; I don't do anything; it does it by itself." I said I was pretty sure that wasn't possible. He said he thought [Librarian D] had it out for him, and I said I doubted that…he just needs to follow the rules.

Then he started back on my alleged rudeness of several months ago, at which point I stopped responding and suggested he take this whole discussion up with the director. "Well, who is THAT?" When I told him [the director's name], he said, "She won't even listen to me." I suggested he could try talking to [Librarian D] as well about today’s problem and he said he was angry because I was rude. When I asked if I had been rude today, I think he said I'm always rude to him. (By the way, I was at this point holding my breath so I wouldn't throw up, so I might have sounded vaguely weird, but I was doing my best not to rise to his antagonism.) He challenged me several more times and then asked for my "entire name." I told him I would only give him [my first name] which he wrote down and went away.

LATER: He also talked to [two circ staff members] about me, asked me to come out from the workroom and talk to him again. I told them to let him know I was on my lunch break—-which I will be as soon as I stop typing!

Action taken by staff:
Reiterated policy. Tried to reason with him. Passed him off to [Librarian D] and [Director] for confirmation of yesterday’s events.
