BLITEOTW

I was sitting at the desk a minute ago (covering for S while she was getting a car payment thingie straightened out). This guy walks up. Typical patron--glassy-eyed stare, shuffling, mumbling under his breath instead of talking. I asked him if I could help him, and he mumbled something. I asked him to repeat himself. He grabbed my arm and FUCKING BIT MY HAND!!!!!!!

I screamed, grab the last volume of the OED (just back from another patron), and whacked him upside the head. He... the side of his head caved in. He dropped.

Oh gods, I've killed someone. I think I'm going to be sick. There were maggots in his hair.

Sent N the custodian over to the carwash to grab one of the police people still investigating the shooting. P has washed out the teethmarks on my hand with alcohol and bandaged it. Hopefully we'll get an ambulance here soon.

I can't believe this.

Gonna go throw up now.

OMG are you okay?!!

[spiritchaser1.livejournal.com]

omg!!! That's so weird! I just had a patron come in here because she was bitten by some weirdo in the parking lot!
Again, I ask, WTF is wrong with people??

First they throw rocks, now they bite?
*sending you new job vibes*

NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!! Don't turn into a zombie! Stay human! Fight the eeeeeevil that now burns in your blood! Oh, woe to the wily ways of the walking dead, that they claim another sexy librarian in their endless hunger. The tragedy! The horror!

Glad you had alcohol to clean it out with. Human mouths are filthy.

CDC says it's some form of parasite, so you might want to check to make sure one of those maggots is not moving about the library.

If it's any comfort, sounds like he was dead already. Maggots don't go for live flesh.

Parasites? Gross! Hopefully the alcohol killed anything that got into the bite.

Icon says it all, really...

Jeez Deez, you scared the crap outta me til I read the above comments and did a bit of googling!

This is the first post on my flist and I haven't yet had my first cup of coffee.

Yes. That. Dear lord.

[Breaking the (fourth? fifth? blog) wall] Yeah, seeing this stuff in reverse order (without knowing it's coming) was a little weird. ;)

Whoa! Something very similar happened to me this morning in our back yard! I got bit too, but I brained the guy with a brick. OED seems so much more appropriate.

Better wash that bite out. Human bites are the worst.

There's definitely some crazy things going on today, but I'm not sure I'm quite ready to start throwing around the "Z" word yet.

<ooc>
By the way, your post was the very first one I read today, before I found out what was going on.

Yikes. Just yikes.

Wow. You were bitten?! OMFG UR GONNA BE A ZOMBEH

Um. Don't panic. It's probably nothing.

...hey. On the offchance that it isn't, how would you feel about joining my zombie horde of minions?

If you start leaving entries that say "4 Itchy Tasty", I'm comin' down there.

[lightning-rose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, everything in this particular post is entirely plausible without ghouls or zombies. :)
