The correctional facility I work at DOES look like one of those motels with all the doors on the outside, so occassionally we get people pulling up wanted to get a room for the night. Most people hear "correctional facility, not a hotel" and actually UNDERSTAND it. Until this guy.
I'm outside doing the various room checks to make sure everyone is where they are supposed to be when i see this guy pull up. I walk up to the front parking and ask if I can help him.
DA=Dumbass
DA- Yeah, I'd like to get a room for the night
me- Sorry sir, this is a correctional facility, but there is a hotel just up the---
DA-You don't understand, I want a room for the night
Me-Sir, we are NOT a hotel. This is a correctional facility, a halfway house for those coming out of jail
DA-Well it looks like a hotel
(Coworker coming out to see what is going on, here's this last bit)
CW-THis is NOT a hotel, we will NOT give youa room, if you do not leave the property now, I will call the cops.
DA-this ISN'T a hotel? (all astonished)
DUH. what clued you in? The fact that you saw me opening doors, walking in and Shining lights into the room? The big sign on the door stating no weapons, mace, pepper spray, knives of anykind or anything like because it's a CORRECTIONAL facility? Was it the guy who yelled over 'hey April, can I have permission to smoke?

Wow! Just wow! 
Does the guy want you to leave a bunk open when he needs one?
