Having a Complex
For years now I have told people how I have this thing that Security gaurds, customs officials, and general people of authority have it in for me. I dont know if its my face, the expression on my face, body language that says 'yeah i dont respect you fool' i dont know, but there is definately something that always seems to attract their attention.
Today there was another fine example of this, ok maybe partly brought on by myself, but nevertheless, I still feel it wasnt my fault.
I had just gone for lunch with my boss to the new building where my old company is now based, rather modern and very corporate, think angry military style receptionists, employees who arent allowed to smile, and think that wearing a pink tie is rebelling against the system. So the lunch was good, it had to be, theyve got one of the top chefs in London there, so we leave, and as with all big fancy buildings (and old decrepit ones) in London you need a pass card. You see, I have a pass card, but these people do things 'so well' that they actually make more hassel for themselves. My pass works at my building, but not at the other, exact same company, some peoples pass works others dont, you have to get it re activated (long inconvenient process), stupid people.
So upon going in I show them my pass and they let me through because it doesnt read on the scanners, upon leaving however, I motion to get their attention but the robots are so busy gossiping about lives that they actually may have that they fail to notice me. Fine with me, I've got long legs and really cant be bothered waiting, so one step and I'm over the barrier. Oh no! Its like Ive broken out of fort Knox. The looks which I was told by my colleagues could have killed me, a minute later and 'the head of security' is over questioning me. First off, hes not the head, having the job I have I know the head of security, and its not him, secondly I find this situation funny, so trying to contain my laughter I proceed to answer his questions with as small a smirk as I can manage.
Idiots, if the personality-less receptionists were doing there jobs they wouldnt have had to call the security gaurd to investigate that man who walked over the barrier, but is still standing right outside the building. If I had left a bomb in there would I realy still be standing there? Ignorant people, but I suppose if I had more patience to wait for the robot people to finish their conversation I oculd have avoided it all. Thing is I'm not that patient, and I wasnt in the wrong (not entirely) and I'll still do it again, ha ha ha.
Why wont they just leave me alone!?
