Idiots!

I work in a not so great neighborhood for an extremely large communications company. I get to have interesting conversations with some of the local talent from time to time. So I go out the front door to the only non-gated part of the property to check something. As usual, one of the local sees an opportunity and approaches.

Idiot: "Hey, I need to get around back to survey the cell tower"
Me: "Okay, who are you?"
Idiot: (mumbles something)
Me: "Okay what is your company name?"
Idiot: (clearly not expecting this question) Uh...uh...uh...mumbles 6g." (clearly thinking that 6g is twice as good as 3g, and that I would be impressed)
Me: "Cool, let me see your I.D."
Idiot: "I.D?"
Me: "Yes, an I.D. with your picture on it that says you work for 6G."
Idiot: (Looks in wallet for a minute...puts wallet back) "They haven't given me one, yet."
Me: "Do you have a note in your wallet that reminds you that they haven't given you an I.D?"
Idiot: "Huh?"
Me: "Nevermind. LOL You need to come back when you have proper credentials."
Idiot: "I just need to get in the gate to survey the tower.It is around back."
Me: "I heard you the first time, and I know where the tower is located. So does everyone else within a quarter mile."
Idiot: "Why will you not let me in?"
Me: "Because you walked up off the street wearing shorts and a t-shirt with no I.D. Your clipboard with an empty sheet over paper doesn't impress me. Also, the compass looking thing you have around your neck looks like it came from a Cracker Jack box. Furthermore, while we were talking I googled 6G on my phone, and it doesn't exist."
Idiot: (dumb look, but getting angry)
Me: "Tell you what! I am going inside to see if anyone is expecting you. If not, I will call the local P.D. to escort you onto the property. Stay right here!"
Idiot: (waits til the door closes and hauls ass!)
Me: LOL

Sounds like he was full of it. I work for a Survey company and we do survey Cell tower sites, But we always have the Job folder and business cards with us. Usually its an ATLA/ACSM survey.

Did you actually say "LOL"??

This guy even went far enough to have a clip board, but couldn't even pull off a uniform or something that looked professional... big idiot.

So, what would this scum obtain by "surveying the tower"? Is there anything he could really steal back there?

Probably breaking into cars. Believe it or not we actually had someone steal ALL the copper piping on the outside of one of our buildings. lol

My Dad's an electrician and always has interesting stories of how people try to steal things.
