While working in the library at a university, I was often
shocked by the excuses students would use to get out of
paying their fees for overdue books. One evening an older
student returned two books that were way overdue and
threw a fit over the outrageous $2 fee that I asked her to
pay. I tried to explain how much she owed for each day, but
she insisted she should be exempt. You don't understand,"
she blurted out. I didn't even read them!
