Why do people continue to amaze me?

Several of our patrons are my friends on FaceBook, some of whom I was already friends with, but many are folks I've friended just so that I can share info posted from the library's website or twitter accounts.  Last week, I friended a patron whom I'd ignored online before, just because I knew, I KNEW, that her status updates would make me cringe.

Backstory:  With the remodel and snow we've had recently, the schedule at the library has been hit or miss.  After my last post, it snowed enough to that the school board canceled school, which also meant that we were closed that day.  When I returned to work on Monday, we still didn't have computers for the patrons, which meant enduring more "No computers!?!??!" crap.  We also had BOXES AND BOXES of books that had been returned in the book drop while we were closed.  (What part of PLEASE HOLD ONTO THE BOOKS UNTIL WE REOPEN DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND????)

Ahem.  Tangent.

So, no computers on Tuesday, either.  We kept telling patrons that we were at the mercy of the electrician and computer technician, we're sorry, we hope to have them up by Wednesday, yadda yadda yadda.  Glory be, by Tuesday afternoon, we had PCs!  You'd think it was the second coming or something.  The sky opened, the angels sang... AND THEN IT SNOWED.  AGAIN.

So, Wednesday, we were closed.  The forementioned FB patron updated her status accordingly:  OH NO! The computers had just come back up and now the library was closed and she couldn't get on the internet.  Why was the library closed?  Oh woe is me!  THEN SHE APOLOGIZED TO HER MAFIA WARS AND YOVILLE FRIENDS. 

Open palm, insert face.

I couldn't let it go.  I commented with a sweet "our concern is for our patrons, my co-workers and I have fallen in the parking lot, we're low man on the totem pole when it comes to getting our parking lot cleared..." but inside I was screaming OH MY GAWD!  And then it hit me... Was she posting from her phone?  How else would she update her status?  Hmmm?  The questions continued to build when I got an email notification that she'd commented to my comment... an apology for her vent... Wait!  The library was still closed.  I'm confused!  So, you can still FaceBook, but your connection is such that you can't play your blessed Mafia Wars and Yoville.  Soooooooo... you'll call the library out on your FB account because we were trying to keep you and other patrons safe and save you from falling and busting your asses in our parking lot.  I'm sorry.  Next time, please be my guest and fall down for me, video tape it and post it on YouTube.  Please.  I need a good laugh.
