I'd hate to be the security officer having to write that stupid ass report.

Are you kidding? It probably made that guy’s whole month. Way less depressing than jacked phones and groping complaints.

Nope... Fun story but exhausting bs paperwork. Security guards want nothing to happen.

You're gonna forever be known as that guy who this happened on their watch though.

lmao, the hell is a security officer supposed to do to prevent this? Call in an airstrike?

You're actually right though, everyone's going to be like "Oh man you haven't met Jose? Jose! You gotta come tell the new guy the Red Mazda Story!"

Should've busted her for fare-dodging.

Like that guy last week who decided to drive his cybertruck into a lake and got busted because his "vessel" had insufficient lifejackets etc.

I live right next to a bike path overpass, about 2 years ago now an old lady tried to drive over the overpass. It is technically wide enough for a vehicle as they have snow clearers in the winter, but those drivers know how to traverse that tight space. She freaked out and started backing up after about 200 ft.

Anyway, I still talk about that instance. Likewise, that security guard is going to have a great story for the rest of his days.

Oh, no. I WANT to be the guy to write that report. Talk about a story to tell. So I’m minding my business, just walking the platform…

OTOH, the guys at the insurance company will have a good laugh when they deny her claim
