My Darwin Award Trophy ...
But I digress from my real point that stupid people are much too abundant today ... case in point.
I went in to a client site today, considering I am a consultant and not a full time employee I typically sign in at the security desk where they issue me a temporary day pass. However in order for me to have a valid day pass a very specific full time employee needs to confirm my presence on a monthly basis.
Well 2 weeks ago said full time employee physically walked to the security desk with me and asked the security guard to renew my monthly pass.
Last week I came and they didn't have a pass in the "system", so they called a full time employee who asked again for them to renew my monthly pass.
THIS week I came in and the SAME security guard told me yet again that my pass was not in the "system" ... here’s a short breakdown of the conversation...
Me: Hello! How are you? ...*hands over DL*
Security #1: Hi ....*type type type* .... You’re not in the system.
Me: But how can this be?! You were the one who was supposed to extend my pass for a month last week.
Security #1: That wasn't me ... it must've been someone else.
Me: I'm pretty sure it was you (it totally was this douche bag)...
Security #1: Well I'll call Amy ***** and find out ...
Me: (damn bastard how was it not you if you remember EXACTLY who to call to fix it)... ok thanks!
Security #1: *mashes fat palm into phone to dial Amy* ... no answer.
**meanwhile - Security guard #2 walks back to the desk**
Security #1 to Security #2: Hey did you put this girl’s pass in the "system"
Security #2: Who? *receives DL* Nope I didn't do it ... *types my name into the "system*... but she already has a pass in the "system".
Security #1: Huh?! How come it didn't show up on my computer...?
Is it any wonder that one of my favorite pass times is to daydream about awkward situations stupid people could find themselves in?
Here's one of my favorites... stupid person is returning home from work, somehow all the tires on their vehicle pop off, and they are stuck in LA traffic with no tires and the urgent need to urinate ... my only hope is that they will be forced to pee their pants before help arrives.
