Who brings their child into the library, plops down at a computer, and surfs for porn while the child watches? That guy over there, apparently. Okay, maybe the kid isn't old enough not to understand what's going on when daddy is looking at nekkid Paris Hilton pics, not to mention the horse and cow sex websites, but...it's time to use my special powers to suddenly lose the Internet connection at that computer.
"Gosh, sir, I'm not sure what could be wrong with that station. Maybe it's a problem with the website you were viewing. Sometimes websites go down temporarily. Which site is giving you trouble?" That usually encourages them to leave, but if they insist that we fix the Internet right now (lives are on the line!), I can always very sweetly offer to take a look at the browser history to see what the problem might be, "because if our computers are having problems with a certain site, we might need to download a plug-in update to make it work."
I swear I didn't lie this much before becoming a librarian.
