Once at the University
of Victoria library I was told I was being fined for a late book, which puzzled
me because I was pretty sure I had returned it on time. I talked it over with
the librarian and she was insistent that it hadn’t been returned. I decided to check the shelf and promptly
found the “unreturned” book and brought it over to her. Instead of apologizing, she actually had the
nerve to say, “The fine has been forgiven.”
At least I didn’t have to pay, but I was amazed that she was arrogant
enough to forgive me for their mistake that was to my detriment, not theirs.
