One of our classrooms was being used for a meeting that was to run from 6:30pm until 8:30pm. I buzzed in about forty people that were attending.
6:50pm arrives. A lady comes to the door. I let her in.
L: Hi there, I'm here for *meeting that has already started*?
Me: Oh yes, well, it started 20 minutes ago-
L: Uhhh, no it didn't.
Me: Yes it did. Everyone is already up there, if you just go-
L: No, it doesn't start until 7pm! I am the first one here!
Me: I only have one meeting scheduled for tonight, and it runs from 6:30-8:30-
L: No! It runs from 7-9! There must be two meetings being held tonight, and I am the first person here for the second one!
Me: I have already buzzed in forty people that said they were here for the exact same meeting you are, and they were here almost 30 minutes ago.
L: Well they must be mistaken! I have it written down that it starts at 7pm! I would never make a mistake about that!
Me: Well you need to ask yourself what is more likely: forty people making the exact same mistake, or a single person.
L: I am NOT mistaken!
Me: Maybe you should go through and check.
L: No! I will sit here and wait for the others to arrive! Then you will see that it is YOU that is mistaken!
She sat down with her arms folded, looking like a moody child.
She sat there, completely silent for over an hour. I am deadly serious It gave me the creeps. I had to move to another desk in the office so I didn't feel her stare.
8:15. The meeting finished early. They were all heading out, when L was spotted by another lady.
AL: Hello there L! Where were you tonight? We were expecting you!
L: AL...shh...I don't want to talk about it here...come on, let's go.
I caught a glimpse of her leaving the building, looking around to see if I spotted her.

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
