[Publib] Could we talk about funny names for patrons?

[TALESOFDAYSOFOLD]

We have Mr Manga Pants, a teen that we finally discovered was the one responsible for the disappearance of many volumes of Naruto and Bleach.  Yes,folks, he was putting them down his pants.

Knowing full well that this is all done in
the back staff rooms and never in earshot of the public, I will admit that we
have “crazy pee lady” sadly for obvious reasons, “Mr. Spanky”
because he loved to listen to porn with spanking, and “comic shop guy”
because he looks like the character from the Simpson’s, I’m told. 
OH, and depending on the day, “conspiracy theory guy”, several fit
in that category. 

   

We are so concerned about their privacy,
where else will we get their names if we don’t give them to them?!

I've worked in several libraries and all had names for one
customer or another.  However, I worked in one library that had (I will
not say which library this was, but if you ever worked there, you'll know): 





  





Angry Deaf Lady 





Short Term Memory Guy 





Teddy Bear Lady 





Short Shorts Guy 





Pedophile Guy 





Cougar Lady 





That Racist Jerk 





Eggroll Dude 





Stinky (doesn't every library have a Stinky?) 





Super Stinky 





Trucker Hat Guy 





  





and a few more that are escaping me at the moment:)

One of our patrons with a perpetual scowl and a
particularly ungracious manner is known to staff as “Serial
Kramer”. I’ve changed his name, but it does begin with k and have
two syllables.  

   

He doesn’t come in quite so often since his son
found him viewing scantily clad mail order brides on a patron computer.
I’ve always wondered if the kid told his mother.  

   

I hope not, as he works at the hospital lab in our small
town drawing blood. I wouldn’t want him to hold a grudge against library
staff.

Or a dictionary for an unwritten African language.
Actual question.

How about
funny reference questions?  I never did find the answer to “when did
they start putting fingerholes in bowling balls?”
