I've seen every "Seinfeld" episode, like, at least 50 times, Offy.
Elaine Benes is my hero.

This reminded me of a Seinfeld episode where George took the book into the restroom. It was flagged after that....He had to buy it and couldn't return it to any bookstore in town...Heck he even tried to sell it to Elaine, but it always registered as "flagged".....LOL...

Well I hear you on this one, although I will admit that I have a big, well maybe huuuuuge quirk about this whole bathroom bacteria thing. If I eat out (only on rare occassions) I'm thinking did that chef wash his hands after going to the loo etc. I've been to many establishments (food one's) and I've gone into the toilets and observed many use them and leave without washing their hands. Don't mean to put anyone off, but it's not just books in the library, it's EVERYTHING, and I'll admit if I was to spend my time thinking about it all the time, trust me I'd never leave my house lol.
Bless
Regards

That's "old hat" for me, at this point, richinstore.
I've been thrown out of a vast multitude of different venues ... including
that very library on a previous occasion.

lucky thing you didn't argue with her... it might have turned ugly. And creating a 'scene' is shameful!

In the interest of "full disclosure", riri ...
I should probably mention that my mother has some connection to the city's library system ... which probably explains why she found "several glaring inaccuracies" in this post (and also why I hate libraries so much).

Yikes, Moon. This comments section seems to be headed "right down the toilet" (pardon the expression).
P.S. How many aliases do you need, btw?

It really is a strange way to do business, when you stop and think about it. (Putting so much stock in the "honor system" like they do.)

The burning question for me, Mad Girl, was always: What books do men read while they are having digital prostate exams performed on them at the doctor's office? 
Have you done any studies on this subject? Moon

People who need to read there probably suffer from constipation. They need laxatives, not books.

You know, I do read in the bathroom,
but I always make sure I carefully wash the book when I'm done.

You're supposed to return books to the library?
No wonder they keep taking my cards away. I just pick another name from the phone book and get another one.

That's a good point, actually, Saul. I don't think I've ever once seen my brother reading an actual book.
And perhaps now I know why.

One time, Soul Builder, I walked into a boyfriend's bathroom, and there was an entire stack of "Sports Illustrated"s in there. Though no Swimsuit Issues, thankfully.

I think the key is, Troosha, that whatever book goes into the bathroom ...
stays in the bathroom. Or heads right
into the trash.
The worst thing is to take stuff in and out.

We’ve got this book in our bathroom entitled “Uncle John’s Slightly Irregular Bathroom Reader” and only just yesterday I mentioned to “B” that is must be the biggest bacteria culprit in the house. With that thought now stuck in my head, I’m disgusted every time I touch the damn thing….. but it’s amusing bathroom reading.
