A little over a week ago I checked a book out at the library. On the same trip I returned a book. I walked in, put the book on the returns counter, went to the shelf to get the book I had come for, came back to check out. After checking out, I watched the clerk pick the book I was returning up and put it on the returns cart.
I remember it precisely.
So I was kinda ticked when I logged into my account online and saw the book still on it. I renewed it online so I wouldn't get a fine before the next time I came in. Today I went back, and asked them to check the shelf. Book's not there. I made it clear that I KNOW I returned it, but having renewed it, I said I'd go home and take another look.
5 minutes later it hits me that I had 2 books out and I'd only returned one.
