I’m sure the rest of the library users didn’t appreciate you ripping into the female staff member sitting at the resources desk after you encountered a man jerking off in the washroom around 12:45pm on Friday.
You have every right to be upset that such an incident occured but cursing up a storm and yelling in a library isn’t going to get things resolved. You kept going on about how there are “fuckin children” in the library who could have bumped into this masturbator but do you really think screaming fuck every 5th word helped your case. I’m sure the children learned a new word by the end of your nutty display.
I’ve given my support to the staff members who held back from giving you a well needed punch in the mouth and I noticed a lot of library users weren’t real impressed with your handling of the situation – something that could have been handled a lot more calmly by you. At least you’d have had a chance of catching the guy but your temper tantrum let him get away.
—I’m willing to bet the suit-wearing lady had never seen a penis before

What the hell?? What were they going to do…detect masturbatory activity with their spidey-sense, bash down the wall, and impale him through the neck with their T-1000 machete hand?
Actually, I find these people aren’t too bad to deal with in customer service, because they’re so clearly fucked in the head that you don’t have to blame yourself for anything 😛
Well, we know where Bad Mr Frosty went……
Matthew, I didn’t realize how badly I needed a laugh today until you gave it to me. Thanks = )
Trust me, in like 8 or 10 years those kids are going to know ALLLLLLLL about masturbation. Plus, who needs to snap one out at the library? Can’t you at least wait till your are on the bus ride home like a normal person!
PS – did you know 3rd base is now considered amonst teenager to be oral sex
It must be quieter in there than in the ferry terminal washroom.
OH GOD…sounds like another person in shock and witnessing it we fail to see how scared or angry they were reacting in a state of shock. She had been violated and the f word came out. I may not have done that but I have had maybe more training than her with shock…
The guy jacking off was obviously an adult too. It is really creepy and gross and now the kids know it is not right. It is sad that she used the f word soooo much but I personally think her reaction was that of shock, which can be a really misunderstood emotion.
I fucking hate creeps who do this shit too…I worked in Park Lane and people were having sex in the bathroom nearby…often and it was a problem and it is just not classy at alllllll.
I am not hung up about sex or masterbating or any of that. What went on in the bathroom was meant to be found out…which is the creepy part…it is a set up sort of to not lock a bathroom in a public place and you are going to masterbate???
Come on…this person was trying to shock someone and he did and now we are all talking about it and well IT worked!
Creepy guy…freaked out lady…What the hell happened afterwards? to the person she caught masterbating?
Vida- as the OB I don’t know if the guy was ever caught, I understand he made it out of the library before the lady managed to get the attention of staff members but her method of doing so left a couple of the librarians in tears. She cursed at and belittled these ladies in such a nasty manner. Hopefully this nut job and the just as nutty masturbator are both banned from the premises.
I’m with mole rat — not the staff’s fault some guy got off on a bunch of books [heh].
Was the man jerking off in the ladies washroom, or was the crazy lady in the men’s? Or, do they not have separate washrooms at the library?
But yeah, that kind of display of anger at desk staff is uncalled for.
Add a new category “Library Rage”.
OH Gross!!!They are both on the loose. She probably was a NUT JOB to beginning with and then add shock to it….short circuited her.
So masturbating in a public library is illegal? Oops.
Even in your own private bathroom stall? I’d like to hear a legal opinion on this one! Maybe the guy was homeless and just needed a good spot to rub one off. Better there than on a public park bench or bus or something.
One of my biggest piss offs is people who unleash on undeserving workers. I see it happen all the time. Is it at all the librarians fault? What gives the crazy suit-wearing lady the right to yell at her. This lady should have been removed from the library. What is wrong with people?
At the computers there I can see (as can anyone on the street I might add so please don’t), but in the female washroom? That’s just creepy and then some. Still, reminding the employee there are fucking children around is classic FAIL
Must have been like George on Seinfeld and was reading “Vogue”. I am betting that the guy at the library could not win a contest.
“I’m sorry sir, this book has been flagged”
Creepy! Can’t help but wonder what buddy’s reaction was tho..he must have heard all the comotion. “What?! Oh c’mon, I’m just spankin at the library!” You do wonder if someone in that situation would be embarassed or relieved that it was the employee and not him getting bitched at..a little diversion while he zipped up and got lost..
I’m still trying to figure out if she had seen a penis for the first time as she had the Ellen Degeneris/Anne Murray look with perhaps a bit of Sue Johanson mixed in but I can’t imagine it was the Sue Johanson part that had a problem with viewing a penis 🙂
