Idiots!

[jgalt]

I work in a not so great neighborhood for an extremely large communications company. I get to have interesting conversations with some of the local talent from time to time. So I go out the front door to the only non-gated part of the property to check something. As usual, one of the local sees an opportunity and approaches.

Idiot: "Hey, I need to get around back to survey the cell tower"
Me: "Okay, who are you?"
Idiot: (mumbles something)
Me: "Okay what is your company name?"
Idiot: (clearly not expecting this question) Uh...uh...uh...mumbles 6g." (clearly thinking that 6g is twice as good as 3g, and that I would be impressed)
Me: "Cool, let me see your I.D."
Idiot: "I.D?"
Me: "Yes, an I.D. with your picture on it that says you work for 6G."
Idiot: (Looks in wallet for a minute...puts wallet back) "They haven't given me one, yet."
Me: "Do you have a note in your wallet that reminds you that they haven't given you an I.D?"
Idiot: "Huh?"
Me: "Nevermind. LOL You need to come back when you have proper credentials."
Idiot: "I just need to get in the gate to survey the tower.It is around back."
Me: "I heard you the first time, and I know where the tower is located. So does everyone else within a quarter mile."
Idiot: "Why will you not let me in?"
Me: "Because you walked up off the street wearing shorts and a t-shirt with no I.D. Your clipboard with an empty sheet over paper doesn't impress me. Also, the compass looking thing you have around your neck looks like it came from a Cracker Jack box. Furthermore, while we were talking I googled 6G on my phone, and it doesn't exist."
Idiot: (dumb look, but getting angry)
Me: "Tell you what! I am going inside to see if anyone is expecting you. If not, I will call the local P.D. to escort you onto the property. Stay right here!"
Idiot: (waits til the door closes and hauls ass!)
Me: LOL
