I felt kinda sorry for this pair, but they're obviously not the brightest pair, so I figured I'd share this.
A resident (R)and her boyfriend (BF) come up to me
R "Our truck is missing."
Me "You're going to want to talk to security then."
R "Well, we wanted to know if it was maybe towed."
Me "You're going to want to talk to security."
R "Okay."
(2:17:12 PM) Mike: *dials security, hands over phone to BF, since it was his truck, he hands phone to R*
R "What do I say?"
Me "Tell them your truck is missing."
*security picks up*
R "Hi, my truck is missing."
And the whole time they were just very calm about it. It was like they were talking about having missed a bus.
*BONUS*
This happened while I was typing up the story.

DG "Hi, can you put some money on my laundry card for me please?"
Me "Actually, you do that yourself at the machine around the corner."
DG "How do I do that?"
Me "You put your card it, put the money in, then it spits your card out."
DG "Oh!" *goes, comes back a minute or two later* "Yeah, it says error validating card"
Me *thinking uh oh, are we having problems with the machines again?* "Here, let's go take a look" *walk the 30 ft. to the machine* "Can I see your laundry card?"
DG *hands me her student ID, which is issued to every student who attends the college, by the college, and in no way resembles a laundry card, beyond being the same size as every other thing vaugely shaped like a credit card*
Me "Uh, you said you wanted to put money on your laundry card?" (Had to ask, in case I misheard, because you can put small amounts on your student ID so you can print at the library)
DG "Yeah!"
Me "Then can you hand me your laundry card?"
DG "What's that?"
Me "The card you got when you moved in. Looks like this" *shows her example*
DG "I don't think I got one of those."
Me "Everyone did. You signed for it when you moved in."
DG "Oh, I probably threw it somewhere. I didn't think I needed it."
Me *internal facepalm* "It's a $10 replacement if you can't find it."
DG "I'll go look for it."
Neither case was either person sucky, but seriously, if your truck's stolen, and I tell you to call security, you should be asking for their number, not what to say, and why would you throw out a card you were given when you move in, and had to sign for, and has a little picture of a washing machine on it?
