A bit of I dont work here and pro revenge maybe.

So let's start this off by explaining what I do for work. First of all, I work for a school district doing IT. Given the nature of how the job works I can be doing anything from running wires to cutting metal and all sorts of different types of work. When I'm doing things that would be a bit more dirty I will wear normal clothes. This is not too different from what I would normally wear minus a t-shirt instead of a golf type shirt.

​

So I'm at Home Depot wearing a pair of tan cargo pants, hiking shoes and a red t-shirt that says Coca-Cola on the front as well as my old beat-up hat and a pair of sunglasses on my hat cuz I was inside.

​

So I'm looking around for some things to do a job in the afternoon and an old lady asked me for help. I gladly helped her get something off of a higher shelf as well as answered a few questions for her because I just knew more about construction then she did obviously. Really she just wanted to know some best ways to mount some pictures that were a bit more heavy so I directed her to some proper mounting materials and explained the best way to mount the hangers. Nothing special.

​

So I walk down the aisle because I needed to be in the hardware aisle anyway looking for some stuff. As I'm crouched down I have some other things in my hands and I'm taking things out and putting them back as I look for the proper Hardware. It's not like what I'm doing has any sort of a set way of doing it so I'm just trying to go off the flying figure out what would work best for what I want to accomplish. Another lady walks up and right off the bat really rudely starts demanding that I help her. Keep in mind, I in no way look like I work at home depot.

​

Me=me EB = the rude lady MG = manager

EB: it's about time I found someone... I need help.

I ignore her since it clearly doesn't sound like she's talking to me.

EB grabs my shoulder and pulls me back as I am crouched down causing me to fall back

ME: What the fuck lady?

EB: That is no way to talk to a customer. I should report you to your manager for ignoring me and swearing at me.

Me: that would be great if i worked here.Go away.

EB: you obviously work here. Go get a ladder and..

Me: No thanks. I'm good.

EB: I'm going to go get...

Me: (loud enough for those around to hear) No I will not go to your car to make out with you. (I'm not even all that angry. Annoyed maybe but I get joy in making people like this uncomfortable)

EB: stammering I didnt... that's not... (MG seems the commotion and walks up. She starts screaming at how unprofessional I am and so forth. I know the manager. We have bought each other drinks at the local VFW. He knows I dont work there.)

EB: he helped this old bitch and now wont help me. I just..

MG cuts her off

MG: ma'ma... you are hereby banned from this store. Leave now or you will be escorted by force by an officer.

EB refuses to leave and as promised, is booted from the store by cops.

Fast forward to yesterday... hence this post now.

​

Again, I work in a school district. All subs must come to me to get a temp key FOB to get in and out of the building. In she walks into my office.

​

She immediately goes off screaming at me. I seriously dont even recognize her at first. Then it hits me. I put on a nice big grin and I act all nicely to her. I let her know that I have to call the office to confirm her placement. The office hears her screaming over the phone and I quietly and quickly explain. 2 minutes later the resource officer rolls up, sees what's going on and escorts her off the property.

​

She has been removed from the list that's pulled from so she can no longer sub in our district after going into more detail of the situation with my boss and super intendent. He also plans on calling a few other districts to warn them.

​

I'm sure it's for the best. She couldn't be all that mentally stable.

EDIT:

*Added some spacing for ease of reading

*Fixed a typo

*The first instance was about a week before the instance in my office. (basically, like a Wednesday or so in Home Depot and then Monday in my office)
