Top 10 reasons why people hate the library staff:

7. We will have to get that title sent over from another branch
8. The copier only copies one page at a time
9. We will not give you an infinite number and variety of free office supplies

The top 10 types of items most likely to be "missing":
1. Antowne Fisher
2. Anything to do with the WWE
