The Slob BlogBecause slobs need love too!

MSNBC recently covered a story of two library books, returned 51 years late. The anonymous and obviously forgetful book-borrower, even included a $1,000 money order.

This story proves what I strongly believe, that slobs are just human.  Like everyone else, we make mistakes, and sooner or later, we feel guilty and want to make things right.  Often times, it is the guilt itself that KEEPS us from making it right.  We think that if we just cover our eyes and plug our eyes, the signs of our own stupidity will disappear.  They don’t.  Unfortunately, this story is starting to make ME feel guilty as, much like the slob in this story, I am no stranger to forgetfulness when it comes to library property.  I am pretty sure I still have a couple books on my shelf from the University Library from grad school.  I graduated like three years ago.  Maybe I should take a lesson from this guy and return them before I too, rack up a thousand dollar late fee.
