You Know It's a Good Day When the Cops Show Up

We had a domestic disturbance in the library yesterday. It started in the computer lab, then moved to the lobby, where the wife/girlfriend/whatever decided to call the police. I thought that was mighty nice of her. It saved us the hassle. I didn't get to witness the fight, but I've been told it included a great deal of swearing and threats. I guess the fact that the guy was holding their daughter prevented it from getting physical, although I wouldn't put it past this couple. They have quite the history of disrupting the peace and quiet (*snicker*) of our facility. Awhile ago, the guy threatened to complain about me to the director when his article about Marilyn Manson got cut off when printed, never mind that I wasn't anywhere near his computer or the printer when said travesty occurred.

According to the police officer, the fight started when the guy wanted to go home, but his wife/girlfriend/whatever wanted to stay and play on the computers, doing mission critical work on her MySpace page. Somehow that escalated into threats of bodily harm. I think they were meant for each other. It's too bad Cops has never been filmed here, because you know how much I enjoy seeing my patrons outside of the library.
