Hell, Avoiding
Librarians should try to do good deeds and live good lives. Because Hell, for a librarian, involves working at a reference desk with an endless line of patrons who want to tell you about their family genealogies.

No big whoop--I can refer genealogists to other librarians at other libraries for eternity!
My mother-in-law feels that since I am married to her son and a librarian, that therefore, I am infinitely interested in her side of the family tree. In fact, the next time she starts rambling about dead people I'm not related to and don't care about and demands that the library stock the book she wrote, I think I'll walk out the door and just plop down in the road and hope that I get run over.
I am a librarian and interested in genealogy, but try to rein it in around others who aren't interested. I know others aren't really as interested in the topic as I am - especially not about my own family's history!
I work with teens. They could care less who the hell they are related too:) All they want to know is if why they can't bring their M-rated games to the library gaming room.
Hah! This made me laugh aloud at an inappropriate time i.e. when I was staffing the ref desk at a rare quiet period.
