I volunteered at my school's graduation tonight, mostly to remind myself why I'm not going next year.
But I'm A BSN
The first part of my job was to direct people. My school's graduation ceremony included doctoral, masters and bachelor students. The weird thing about this woman getting confused is that out of 250ish graduates, there were 20ish doctoral students and 60ish masters students, and everyone else was getting a BSN.
BSN=bachelor of science in nursing
Me: "Graduates in room 342, which is that way."
Student: "But I'm a BSN!"
Me: "ALL graduates are meeting in room 342."
Student: "But I'm a BSN!"
Me: "ALL graduates are lining up in room 342, including BSN students."
Student: "I'm a BSN."
Me: "Please line up in room 342 with the rest of the graduating class."
Finding The Correct Entrance
The graduation was being held in a very large building. The larger rooms in the building have multiple entrances, including the room where the actual ceremony was being held.
Me: "The room that the ceremony will be held in is up those stairs on the right."
Mother: "What entrance is it?"
Me: (straining to look) "I believe it is entrance B."
Mother: "Oh no! The invitation said to use entrance D!"
Me: "There are multiple entrances to the room but since we are using the whole room, it doesn't matter which one you use."
Mother: "I just want to be sure that everything goes well."
Me: "I can assure you that the entrance right there will lead to the correct room. That's why the area is so crowded right now."
Mother: "I think I'll just look around for entrance D."
You're Blocking My View
Right as the ceremony started, my job was to keep people away from the seats that the graduates would be sitting in. In the past, people have gotten in the way of the procession in order to get pictures.
Father: "Miss? Are you going to be standing there the whole time?"
Me: "I'll be here until the end of the processional."
Father: "But then I can't get up close to get a good picture!"
Me: "I would suggest standing in this area if you want a picture as the graduates enter. We'll also be offering professional pictures if you're unhappy with the pictures you take."
Father: "But you're blocking my view from my seat! I don't want to get up and move!"
I was only asking the guy to walk 5 feet away

I was watching him too and watching the previous line get smaller and smaller, so I caught his "Oh crap!" expression as he realized his mistake.
