The usual suspects

We, The Boss and Circ. Ass., got this idea for a character list from the liberry blog. Our nicknames definitely aren't as clever as his, but they're in the preliminary stages and are subject to change.

Crazy Headphones Lady - An impatient woman, potentially homeless, who comes into the library to listen to music videos, but always manages to sit at a computer that has video issues. Not only do videos malfunction at her chosen computer, but the headphones are also broken. Always requests to borrow headphones, but never has a photo ID to use as collateral. Seems to purposely stay out of the circulation staff's peripheral vision while asking for assistance.

Quiet Homeless Woman - Crazy Headphones Lady's accomplice. Will borrow headphones for Crazy Headphones Lady with her own photo ID. Meekish woman that causes very little trouble, but does think that our printing fee is too high.

Rockstar - Young college student that looks much younger than college-age. Nicknamed for returning a headset and informing the staff in a too-cool tone that he will not wind the cord around the headphones (our policy). Refers to his hair as "the crown of thorns" and insists he looks like the singer for whatever band is cool that semester.

Hot Pants - Man, likely homeless, who walks through the library daily around 11AM with a plastic bag of unidentified items. Always wears the same white t-shirt and very short red sweatpant cut-offs.

Newspaper Man (nickname pending) - Diligent paper-reader, will corner employees about staying in school if he catches their gaze.

Serial Killer Guy - Creepy patron with a strange bone structure, has been caught watching pornography and claims to have been in major movies and popular television shows.

- The Boss & Circ. Ass.
