Proper attire, what's that?

Happy Villain, over at If I Ran the Universe..., has a great tirade about patrons wearing their pajamas to the library. I was laughing my ass off and thinking, "Dear God, don't ever come to Library X."

I regularly see students walking around in flip flops in below freezing weather, and the kids come here in their jam jams all the time. It's easier to sleep here when properly attired I guess. Sometimes they even bring pillows and blankets. I only know this because they inevitably leave these items for lost and found. I swear some of these kids go around all year wearing shorts, T-shirts, and flip flops. Just to be clear, we get snow here. Not a lot, but it happens. You wouldn't be able to tell by what some students wear.

Just the other night, I was snickering at a girl who paired a heavy fleece pullover with itty bitty grey shorts. The fleece was almost longer than the shorts. And she came in complaining about the cold as she pulled out her wedgies. She may have been wearing Uggs as well. I think somebody still needs her mommy to dress her.

And on a slightly random note, I currently have a laundry basket in lost and found. It's empty, but why is it here? Did we get a washer and dryer that I don't know about? Is that why the students ask for change so much?
