so i walk past a bunch of library patrons , a few bedraggled homeless and their bags & stuff, all the way to the back corner of the library, nobody near by. I kick off my sandals under the table (and no, my feet are not smelly). I start working on my laptop when suddenly a female employee sneaks up behind me and says "Excuse me sir, you need to keep your shoes on" . Say what ?
I see all kinds of behavior that library staff never enforces, but they choose to find me in the furthest corner of the library with my feet "bare" under the table not bothering anybody ?
I know this game: Get something on the new white guy ASAP, so that we have "something on him" and won't become demanding. Problem is I'm NOT the new white guy. I've been around. Maybe you just haven't seen me before. And you don't need to get something on me. I'm not here to find fault with you. I'm not the "boss". Just leave me alone and we'll all be fine. Don't nitpick me ! Oh, at the same time she was nitpicking me, I could see a fellow across the room with his shoes off under the table, and she didn't say anything to him.
