This is from Hubby's workplace. Hubby is a security guard at a gated community.
Sucky Guest (SG) came up to the gate. SG was the boyfriend of a woman who lived in the community, though apparently not a good one since he wasn't on her permanent guest list and she was calling him in daily. (You can call in a guest to be put on the temporary daily list [ie pizza delivery guys], and you can put frequent guests on the permanent list [ie family, homecare workers, etc].)
SG came up to the gate. He wasn't on the list for that day, because his girlfriend had merely forgotten to call him in. Hubs denied him entry and told him he would have to call the girlfriend and ask her to call the gatehouse to approve his entry. SG did not have his cell phone. Hubs, in his generosity, allowed him the use of the phone in the guardhouse.
SG: "I don't have her number. Can you look it up for me?"
Hubs: "Technically yes, but I can't give it to you."
SG: "Aww, c'mon!"
They went back and forth for a bit, with SG getting more and more agitated.
Then SG said the most threatening sentence ever: </sarcasm>
SG: "Well, if you won't do anything for me, I'm going to leave!"
We've all heard that sentence before in retail settings and such, but just think about it in this context for a bit. I'll wait for the stupidity to sink in...
Hubs said there was nothing he could do. SG dramatically threw up his hands and exclaimed "Fine! I'm leaving!" and left.
