Their Demands Are Just Hot Air
(I work as an admin. assistant at a local fire department. One of my duties is to issue burning permits for anybody wanting to burn brush. This happens over the phone.)
Caller: “Burning permit. Now.”
Me: “Due to the high winds we are not issuing burning permits at this time. You can call to check tomorrow and then come in to the station.”
Caller: “I can’t tomorrow. You need to make the wind stop. I pay your salary so you have to.” *slams down phone*
Me: “Yeah, I’ll get right on that.”
