“We’re about to leave their jurisdiction…”- you
“That’s not how…”
“…. International….”
“Oh… that is how that works…”

Yeah that’s pretty complicated, I was just laughing at my own us-centrism for a moment. I’m still kinda pissed at our transit here, though.
Like, here, Minneapolis alone has several different agencies running in it (several precints of normal cops, transit cops, park cops. River cops.) not to mention “hosting” several agencies for suburbs. Any cops in the state can do things in the city.
Edit: also, holding the light rail train over a 2 dollar fare for an hour is exactly something the transit cops would do.
I was working as a security guard.
She called the cops on me because i refused to call my manager for her. The thing was it was getting late and my manager goes into the office early.
She wanted to complain about how I tie my shoes.
She came in when I was re-tying my boots, saw that it was weird. Got offended enough to demand I tie them “the right way”.
I politely explained that the usual bow falls apart too quickly, especially with the boot laces, and the doubled up bow is impossible to undo. This was a much better knot… and “now are you visiting someone here?” (Aka “can I just trespass you already.”)
She got even more offended, insisting I do it right. I refused again. She insisted I get the manager… whose at home, probably sleeping or fucking… Nope. Not giving you his cell either, so you can harass him.
So she called the cops for “impersonating a security guard and I just feel very unsafe!”
So. Cops come out. Replayed the security tapes - with audio- “yeah.”
You can just say he’s sleeping…
But also wow
No. I told her the truth: she doesn’t get to demand that. It’s contract security, and while there are elements of customer service…it is absolutely not customer service. For one thing we’re allowed- and expected to tell people to fuck off.
If I had to call my boss- who literally had no fucking clue what the policies at that account were- every time someone felt entitled…
We wouldn’t be in business very long as a company.
I meant in the post
> Probably sleeping or fucking…
I like that he gave us options.

The lady at the dog park who screamed at me because I was pulling up the sunflower weeds that stabbed my dog last year.
It’s been going on for weeks, and involved park authorities, and she still is trying to intimidate me.
A close second is the hipster with the offleash pit bull who threatened to kill me because I was standing between his pit and my (appropriately leashed) dogs.
Some crazy old lady tried to run me over at McDonalds if that counts. Our car had broke down and we were trying to save a spot so we could get battery jumped. There were other spots.
Either my ex grandmother who left organized religion to worship herself or exaunt, other side of the exfosmily who was such a fundie that she rejected the harry potter books before we knew dumbledore was gay. Because books on witchcraft are of the devil.
I do properly maintenance and most people on a strata committee is a Karen. Some people must have gone their life always wanting authority but never getting any, so they overcompensate where it doesn’t matter. I’ve gotten good at dealing with them, but I think they love making people uncomfortable just to remind themselves they can. The trick is to not play their game at all haha
