She Wants Revenge

So if you use revenge to raise money, is it still bad?

Because I've always had an idea for a fundraiser for the library that was kinda our chance to get back at our patrons - celebrity boxing. (OK - that should really be "celebrity" because it's just my coworkers, but we get recognized everywhere). So the deal is this - the employees get to pick patrons that we want to beat the crap out of, and if they agree, we box and charge admission. Patrons can also pay to box any employee that they want to . We could also have the Friends of the Library run a betting station. It's genius! Well, except for the fact that I'd probably get all the pervy guys who would like me beating them a little too much.

Until then I am left with only 2 ways to exact revenge on the patrons that have crossed me:

1. Kill them with kindness, and hope that somewhere in their tiny brains or shriveled hearts they feel a pang of regret for being a jackass.

2. Be an evil bitch and brutally enforce every rule in the library. See - normally I'm a little lax. If a cell phone goes off, and the conversation lasts less than 2 minutes, I let it slide. Kids get a little rowdy in the quiet section, as long as it doesn't seem to be disturbing anyone - I can let it go awhile. However, cross me once, and I turn into the library Nazi - making people go to the lobby every time a phone goes off, bringing up the issue of fines every time they check out - I can be a bit of a bother when I want to. However, I am just being totally professional and enforcing rules - nothing more.
