(On the Saturday night of a weekend-long fan-based media convention,
we hold a dance for the attendees. A mother comes up to the security
office and voices a complaint.)
Mother: =93The music is too loud and it=92s running too late. I want it
shut down.=94
Me: =93Ma=92am, our dance is scheduled until 5:00AM, and we are not
disturbing any other events.=94
Mother: =93Well, there are kids are in there and if this thing is for
kids, then there should not be a dance!=94
Me: =93Yes, this convention is an all-ages event, but the dance is one
of our most popular events and we have no intention of shutting it
down.=94
Mother: =93Well, I=92m the customer and I=92m always right! You should do
what I say and shut the dance down! Where is your supervisor? I=92ll get
him over to shut the dance down.=94
Chairman: =93Ma=92am, what is the problem?=94
Mother: =93I want you to shut the dance down! There are kids here and
they should not be in a dance at this time of night! And this man is
not helping. Make him shut the dance down!=94
Chairman: =93The dance is one of our biggest events. Closing it down
would disappoint thousands of our attendees who look forward to it
each year.=94
Mother: =93THIS IS NOT FAIR! I WANT THE D*** DANCE SHUT DOWN AND I WANT
IT SHUT DOWN NOW!=94
Me: =93Ma=92am, raising your voice will not help your case. Please calm
down.=94
(I figure that there is something else going on, and offer her a seat
and a glass of water. She sits down calms down a bit.)
Me: =93Is there something else going on?=94
Mother: =93My daughter sneaked out of our hotel room and I know she=92s in
the dance. I went in there and I couldn=92t find her.=94
Me: =93Is that all? So you wanted us to shut the entire dance down, just
to get your daughter out?=94
Mother: *timidly* =93Yes=85=94
Me: =93Did you actually think that we would do it?=94
Mother: =93Yes=85=94
Me: =93Why?=94
Mother: =93Because I always get my way!=94
