my cartful of DVDs tends to collect browsing patrons like seagulls around a garbage barge.
Love this simile. And it's so true. I'd be sitting at a table, cleaning and checking the DVDs prior to them being checked in, and there would be people circling around me like vultures. Since I'm not into doing performance art, it drove me bugshit. Especially when they'd start picking them up. "Excuse me, sir, these aren't checked in yet. You can't take them from here." "I just want to look at it!" "Those DVDs there are already checked in and ready! Look! A cartful of them!" (sends patrons running after woman with cart)
