18 years ago, i started work in a bank. They stressed a lot on security, never open the door for anyone, NEVER EVER!
In my first week, i was sitting in the reception area waiting for my colleagues to go for lunch when i heard a rapping on the glass door. I turned to look & saw a short, elderly looking man staring at me & gesturing to the door switch. I was hesitant & started to say i wasn't allowed to but he just went "it's ok, i work here" & gestured for me to press the switch. I couldn't ignore him as he kept tapping on the door towards the switch. "i left my pass on the table, just open the door"
"Are you sure it's ok? " i asked him & he nodded vigorously. So i opened the door & in he strode, really fast. I started to panic, what harm could he do? He's an old man, but wait, the security briefing said not to take anyone for granted. So i walked after him, asking if he worked here, he didn't break his stride, just saying "yes, you must be new here" over his shoulder. He started to pull away, so i asked for his name.
He stopped suddenly, then dramatically turned around with a wry smile on his face, and told me his name.
He was the head of country.....
