unsinkable Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 That is the explanation the librarian gave me for why they simply discard the recipe magazines that have pages and pages torn from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) People who rip recipes out of library (or doctor's office, etc) magazines deserve a special circle of hell. Everyone has a phone. Take a picture of the dang recipe, or look it up online; most likely it's there. No phone? Write down the name of the recipe and the mag, and look online at home. Or at the library computer, and print it out. Or copy it on a piece of paper. The options are endless. Lazy cretins. ETA: What was your point? I got sidetracked. :lol: :lol: Edited August 15, 2017 by marbel 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 How dramatic. Did she go on to recite The Lady of Shallot? I do agree with marbel, folks should make a copy, take a pic, not destroy public property. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It struck me, her words and the pauses. I keep saying it to myself. Like the time I was on a garden walk and at the house that has the open bar and hot appetizers. And the lady of the house walked out into the drive, tray in hand, and called out, " Claaaaams Casinoooo!" That happened over a year ago...it stuck with me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) It sounds like a movie quote. I think it was a pretty good reply, actually. [Edited because I am weird. :) ] Edited August 15, 2017 by MercyA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealp2009 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Wow. Funny, although at a doctor's office I wouldn't have a problem with it. I don't personally do it but I also drop off all our old magazines at the doctor's office to get rid of them. I think the doctor's office has plenty to spare. But maybe the person should just take the whole magazine so as not to annoy the person who looks at it next.

HSmomof2 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 At our library, and also in doctor's offices where I've worked, we would make a copy for free of an article or recipe..... people just need to ask. No reason to tear up a magazine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegoat Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think she's being philosophic. Magazines do wear out, so they will get trashed eventually. Ones with recipes maybe more than others. It would be impossible to police this, so they can really either live with it or cancel the subscriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
