Night auditors unite, man. And you are making all kinds of sense, trust me.
The guy who trained me when I was hired is this big, giant, fuck off fella. And he's telling me about how part of my job will be to patrol the parking lot and make sure that no one's doing anything untoward to the cars, or hanging about and loitering. And I went 'mm hm', and 'uh huh' and then I asked him 'so... in this instance that someone is breaking into a car, or being drunk or disorderly, or hanging out in the parking lot... exactly what do you expect me to do about it?' And he said 'well, I just yell at them and tell them to get away from here and blah blah blah'. Well, of course you do. You're Jared Padalecki's Canadian cousin, as far as build and size go. But me? Not so much. So I'm not gonna do it, and you can't make me.
And I just don't see why people don't understand this. I will never understand, because it seems like such easy math, and yet apparently not. People who do bad things are the ones who did something wrong. Not the person who got the bad thing done to them. Ever. This is kindergarten math.
(And now you're making me nostalgic for Banff, darn it! I want to go back!)
