What's worse than a Rent-a-cop?

The gatekeeper at BYU!

So to get into gate that leads to all of the coveted parking spots on campus you have to get through the gate. To get through the gate you have to have an A lot pass(which they only let faculty and staff have. i happen to be staff) or get a gatekeeper to have mercy on you (fat chance). Well this shouldn't be a problem for me right? I have an A lot pass. I've been driving up everyday for the past month and i stop at the gatekeeper's booth to show my pass and they let me in and i go park. It really shouldn't be a difficult process.

Yesterday was a different story! David and I always drive through campus on the way home because it's faster than going around and running into lights. This means that we have to pass through the gates. Usually we just stop, show the pass and go on our merry way. yesterday the gatekeeper was too busy chatting it up with some car that he didn't bother to look at our pass. So we approach the gate and wait. he just stares. So David backs up and asks if he's going to open the gate. The guy says he didn't see our pass. David points to it and the guy gets out of his booth, walks over to the car to inspect my pass. Then he looks at both of us and asks if we are faculty or staff. David points my way and says "she is". So the guy looks at me and asks if I'm getting dropped off at work. (What does it matter? I have the pass let me in!!!) I tell him no, we're driving through to go home and it shouldn't be an issue. He finally gives up and lets us in.

What the heck?! Yes i am staff, I'm 23 and staff. Are you jealous that i get good parking while you have to walk 15 minutes from the stadium? Or do you just think that I'm lying and borrowed my dad's car? Check the plates dude, read it MICHIGAN. I sure didn't borrow my dad's car from there. So hey, Rent-a-cop wannabe, give it up, don't bother me again!

Security guards scare me. Mostly because sometimes they have guns, and they invariably do stupid shit with those guns.
