You Can Jeer But Still No Beer
My job is, among other things, to maintain order and safety on trains. I come upon a gentleman with an open beer in his hand. This is illegal in Finland; no alcoholic beverages are allowed in trains, except for those sold in restaurant compartments, which we don’t have on this particular train.
Me: “Sorry, sir, but I’ll have to ask you to hand over that beer; no open containers of alcohol are permitted on the train.”
I reach out my hand to take the beer.
Passenger: “Do you know who I am?!”
Me: “Nope!” *Still reaching out*
The passenger’s friends are laughing. He hands over the beer.
Me: “Thank you!”
And that’s how I deal with “Do you know who I am?!” Honestly. I have no idea who you are; now, please comply with the law.
