1. In my orientation, they explained that we must respect confidentiality and whatever we see people checking out or asking about does not leave the library. But I just answer questions and don't work at the circulation desk, so I don't see many interesting things.
2. I feel really self-conscious when librarians make small talk about my embarressing check outs, which are usually Martha Stewart Living magazines. And I hate it when supermarket cashiers start asking me about my purchases in an "ew, that's gross" sort of way.
3. When I wanted to buy CDs of questionable integrity I would make my sister do it for me. She was amused. I almost never buy CDs now, so it doesn't really matter.
4. I have always made judgments on people who read paperback books with bumpy covers. Covers in relief = trash. I don't mean judgments on people who bought them in bookstores or borrowed them from libraries. I mean people who had them in their houses or were reading them. It has always weirded me out when anyone who was my friend read bumpy books. I'm trying to be less judgmental about it (as more and more people come out of the woodwork), but it still freaks me out.
5. Around Halloween time one year, Matt's friend went to the supermarket and bought nothing but apples and razor blades. Ha ha!
