You have my sincere sympathies. However, fourteen years working various public library reference desks leaves me completely unsurprised at this.
Kind of like the poor guy named Osric who came up to the desk a few weeks ago and was totally shocked when I asked him if his mother was a Shakespeare fan. *He* knew where his name had come from, obviously, but I was apparently the rirst person who'd ever made the connection to his face.
I never did get over the day I saw the Baz Luhrman film of Romeo and Juliet in a theater full of teenyboppers who all gasped when they died, either...
