Lawless And Clueless
(I work as a receptionist at a retirement home.)
Resident #1: “I want you to call the police right away.”
Me: “Um. May I ask why?”
Resident #1: “I called for a taxi and it still isn’t here. I want the police to arrest the driver.”
Me: “Ma’am, I’m sorry about your wait but I don’t think the police should be involved with something like that.”
Resident #1: “I don’t care. I’m a very important person. I have connections. Call the police.”
Me: “Why don’t I call the taxi company to see where it is? I mean, it’s not like the driver can break traffic laws just to pick you up.”
Resident #1: “I am above the law. With one word I can get this whole company shut down. I can—”
Resident #2: *slowly walks up to desk with walker* “Is that your taxi outside?”
Resident #1: “Ah, yes. Goodbye.”
Resident #2: *waits until the first resident leaves* “What a b****.”
