bookstore fun
Jul. 2nd, 2007 03:10 pmTwo classic customer requests:
"Do you have any Large Print Audio Books?"
"Do you have books on DVD?"
On the first one, I think they were just a synesthete and they, therefore, couldn't differentiate between reading an angry book and being yelled at. If the volume was too soft it was because the font was too small, which makes perfect sense.
*clears throat, then closes eyes to dodge the noise*
The second, I presumed they meant what most of us would, um, call "movies" -- but it turned out, not kidding, that they wanted words that would scroll across the TV screen at the reader's reading speed, because turning a book's pages was too much work.
(Methinks the follow-up to that one would've been that the titles in mind were for a child's assignment...but I didn't sig deep enough to clarify.)
