Since I work in a high school, I think the frustrations may be a little different,
but here's the one that gets to me. Almost on a daily basis someone will come up
and ask me to help them find a book. "The computer says it's in, but I can't find
it," they say. Books not being where they belong is a great aggravation. Kids will
pick up a book to look at it and just stick it back anywhere.

is a student. Everyone is a teacher.
