We have a security guard at work who is great fun, but he can do this thing I like do describe as "Pulling Full Cop".
His background: He's doing security for us as his retirement, but he's former LAPD; he did a south-side beat and was there in the middle of the Rodney King riots. He has seen some sh*t, and even though he's a sweet old man most of the time you don't want to actually screw with him.
When he "pulls full cop", he transforms from that sweet silly old man back into a serious cop on a whim. And he did it to me once.
I had just clocked out and was walking down the employee hallway when he saw me.
SG: "Stop, stop right there!" *puts his hands out to stop me*
Me: "Come, on, what is --"
SG: "Stop! Just stop. Don't move. Stay right there."
Me:
SG: *talking into his radio* "Okay, I have her right here."
Me:
SG: *still holding his hand out to keep me at bay while he talks to someone on the other end of the radio* "Uh huh...uh huh...okay..."
Other CWs: *all stopping to see what is going down*
SG: "...got it. Okay, bhskittykatt, tell me, what is the room that needed the three extra towels?"
Me: *light bulb goes on* "It was 1234, and YOU ARE SUCH A MEAN JERK!"
SG: "Okay you can go now."
Sometimes he pulls out the cop, but he never really stops being the silly prankster!
