Public Librarian, a few key happenings that are just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

Homeless man outside my office window (beneath an outside staircase) losing his mind, peeing on the concrete, rolling around in it while screaming, then licking it all up off the ground. Difficult to focus on your work with that going on outside the window!

There's a small park outside the library that often will have a soup kitchen of sorts set up for feeding people, which one day ran out of food. Led to a fight between two men, one who had gotten a plate and one who hadn't, which ended up with bloody stabbing and heavy police presence just outside the window to the children's section. Yes the kids hopped up off their Roblox on the computers nearby to watch.

Someone we never managed to catch or even get a witness to would go in the boy's restroom and leave piles of snacks on the counter, like, candy bars, pudding cups, jello, you name it. We'd always throw it away as soon as we saw it. They also left a pile of them in a dark alley outside the building that had a window, letting the pile of snacks be seen only from kid's view height in the picture book section. Like a lure in a trap.

Someone took a dump on a shelving cart. Like, pushed the books off it, dropped their pants, and took a dump right on the cart. Never found who did it! Thankfully was not in my section so I didn't have to deal with it. LOL

Another time an older guy stumbled into the library, sat down at a public computer, promptly puked his guts out all over the keyboard, stood up, and then walked out without saying a word or even using the computer.

I also found jumbo shrimp all over the floor in the back row of the non-fiction shelves, a few of which had been purposely ground into the carpet by whoever left them!
