Craziness.org

So, I've had an interesting three days. As you know by now, that I have a knack for venting about the crazy. No, the title isn't a link to an organization's website (at least, not that I know of) or anything of that nature, but it should be the link to one person. I shall not reveal that person's name, but I RRRRRREEEEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYY want to. Pop some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the story...

This is a three part, so be ready for more.

First part:

Okay, the first incident happened while I was doing laundry, or at least attempting to. Normally, I don't handle situations unless I'm on-call or duty (lol, yes, Allison. I said duty.). But, I thought to myself, 'this shouldn't be too bad. I can handle this one.' Truth is I could handle it, but I wasn't prepared for what happened. When I stepped off the elevator, there was a resident using the our main computer at the front desk. I thought this was simply a misunderstanding, so I simply informed this problematic person that specific computer was not for public use. Apparently, there was some information that I was missing because said person told me that a dear friend of mine was expecting an email from her. She went further to say that she was wrapping up the last sentence. I'm a reasonable guy, so I tell her it's fine if she wraps up that sentence.

I drop off one load of clothes, and go get another. Yes, I use all of the washers, but there was no one up nor was anyone there. As I go to the elevator, I see that's she still there typing. I didn't really give it a second thought until I come back downstairs with my second load of clothes. I get off the elevator again, and who do I see? Yes, the same problematic person. I have to laugh to myself because I thought it was funny that she was trying to play me for a fool. Not to sound arrogant, but me of all people? So, after dropping off my clothes in the laundry I come back to the desk, and this is when the battle ensues...

I think before commenting that this has to be one of the longest sentences in history. I politely ask her to wrap any business she has on the computer. All of a sudden, it's an emergency email that has to be sent to a couple of the deans down on campus. I'm thinking that it's interesting that this is the same email that was supposed to be sent to one of my closest friends. All of a sudden, she wants to keep using the computer by threatening with deans' names. I adamantly tell her that the computer is still isn't for public use. I guess I should really learn different languages because I feel like people say that speak and understand English but they really don't. And for some reason, she thought her scare tactics would scare, but with that much A.M. I couldn't do handle crap that much (or at all, really).

Her final tactic was asking for my name as if she's going to report me. I tell her with the same amount of 'tude that she deals me. In my head, I told her that I would even email them on her behalf. As she leaves, she's telling me that she'll make sure that the deans will receive the information on me. I was a little snarky in my response, I admit. I told her that she should feel free too. I then wished her a nice day. Then...part 2 happened which will be coming soon.
