Identity Theft

Problem Patron: Now you listen to me, someone stole my identity!

Me: Oh hey. Haven’t seen you in a while.

Problem Patron: And I’m gonna use this library card to get online and complain to everyone that whoever did it has the right to remain silent!

Me, Coworker: pfft

Problem Patron: Anything they say has the right to remain silent. Anyone who does a crime using my name is a criminal!

Me: That is what “criminal” means.

Problem Patron, checking out some novels about revenge: Here’s my books so I can learn.

Problem Patron: I’m gonna find them. Why you follow me like I am a criminal? Why you chase me with a gun?

Me: I definitely didn’t.

Problem Patron: Someone stole my identity and made me look like I am the criminal! I am not a criminal! I will find them and they will go to the court of law! Anything they say can and will be used against them! Right? Am I right? You tell me if I’m right.

[This goes on for some time]

Me: Have a nice day, see you next week probably.

Problem Patron: And you’re closed tomorrow right? It’s Easter. You know that it’s Easter, right?

Me, wearing that Jesus on a Raptor shirt: Yeah, I think heard something about that.

Problem Patron: Jesus is back! Am I right? Am I right or am I wrong?

Problem Patron leaves.

Coworker: MAN DID YOU HEAR THAT PATRON? Talkin about Miranda rights or some shit?

Me: I’m writing it down as we speak.

Coworker: Of course you are you gossipy bitch.
