Patron Interactions that Make Me Long for the End of the Day

Patron 1: This webpage won’t let me go any further.

Me: It says you need to choose one of the four listed options.

Patron 1: Well I don’t want to. Make it go to the next page.

Me: It won’t go to the next page until you choose one.

Patron 1: I don’t want to.

Patron 2: I’m looking for this film.  I don’t want to buy it because it costs $200 .  I saw it at a festival and thought it was really good.  I want to make my friends watch it, but that’s difficult.  So I’m trying to find someplace that will show it as some sort of event and then I can bring my friends.  Would you be interested?

Me: In creating a program to show an expensive film that neither you nor the Library owns so that you can make your friends watch it without them feeling coerced?

Patron 3: Do you have the movie Primeval?

Me: Yes we do.

Patron 3: What is it about?

Me: A huge crocodile.

Patron 3: No that’s not the right one. I want Primeval.

Argh.
