This could almost have been a roadkill because it happened in the parking lot.
We have a no overnight parking policy, with signs at every entrance, and every office employee knows to tell people wanting to set-up their campers/rvs NO!
So I'm starting my rounds and I was told by my coworker that he tried knocking on this rv at about midnight with no answer. So 1/2 hour later I try. Lo and behold I get pants-falling-off old guy. I tell him very politely (there are sorrys and excuse mes and sirs and ma'ams all through my speaking) that we don't allow overnight parking. He barks "so you're going to make me move!?" I said unfortunately, yes. He then goes into a tirade of how he called this mall and they said he couldn't stay then he called a store in our mall (rhymes with All Fart) and they said he could stay and then he called our mall office and they said he couldn't stay! So I repeated that to him, emphasizing he'd just said our mall office told him he couldn't stay. So he changed the story, saying both the mall and the store said it was ok. I told him that because we own the property and parking lots the stores cannot give permission. He then insisted that he called 2-weeks ago and talked to "some woman' in the office who had given him permission. But he couldn't remember her name, or the office number, or where the office is.
Since I didn't have any paperwork telling me this guy had been given permission, I again told him that he could not stay here, because there was no proof he had permission and it was a safety issue. He blew-up and demanded my name and badge, blah blah blah, he's going to complain about me, he's going to come back first thing in the morning and have my job and he's never going to come to this state again! (fine, it's better without you!) He slams the door in my face and a woman comes-out and asks me again for my information, which I had been writing down for the guy when he closed the door. I asked HER if she knew who he had spoken to (trying to be nice and give them some plausable excuse to stay). She snaps at me "Do you think we would have bought a $10,000 RV if we didn't know where we COULD and COULDN'T stay!??"
At that point the guy had fired-up the engine and took-off...with the lady still standing in the doorway. I made sure they left and wrote-up a report.
Guess who was parked back bright and early at 5:30AM?
When I delivered my paperwork to the Office, I asked them if they had spoken to anyone about getting permission for an rv to stay overnight. Guess what I was told? Yeah, this guy had called several times over the past few days and had been told NO NO NO by every single person who had answered the phone!
The point is, I really hate it when people use screaming and intimidation when they're lying to try and fool you, and the fact that I gave my info to the lying sack of crap. I wanted to go back and call him on his lie. I really could have called the police when he came back after arguing so much, but being almost 6:00am I considered it technically morning.
I can't wait for him to get his come-uppance from the Office; the person on today has quite the mouth! I gotta call and see how it went.
