The Harold Washington library is a great place, but the bums that loiter there are the pits! I'm afraid to even go there anymore.
ReplyDeleteHere's some advice for HW library users:
ReplyDeleteOne: Reserve your books online and pick them up from the "Popular Library". Better yet, reserve them at a branch closer to you.
If you must come here, avoid the bathrooms on the 3rd and 4th floor, especially if you are male, unless you like hearing the sounds of two men having intercourse, or getting mugged in the bathroom
If you've got enough cojones, make fun of the gangbangers "keepin' it real" at a *bleep*ing library...what kinda "gangsta" are you if you represent at the library? P-shaw.
Save up your farts for the security guards who go through your bag like they're looking for plastic explosives at the airport, they love them. At no other branch I go to do they have such attentive detail to ordinary people who are not committing any crimes whatsoever.
I mean this all in jest, clearly some poophead administrator decided that all visitors to the HW library need to be treated like guilty until proven innocent when leaving the third floor, it's not the security guards' fault.
ReplyDeleteBut they shouldn't be so ENTHUSIASTIC about seeing the disgusting insides of your man purse
