So I go to Montgomery County Community College today. I signed up for a two day class in Microsoft Access. I printed out this parking pass that also lists the course and classroom number. except my printer cut off the far right side print. I don’t know the class number. I know where the registration window is in the main building. I walk over and ask her, but she says I need to have ID. I left it in my shorts when I was jogging. She says, “you don’t have another form of photo ID? I say no, only my license has a photo. She says I have to have it. “can’t you just look it up by my social security number? She says ok, “do you have any other ID?” I give her my car registration. She asks for a 2nd form. She Asks for my student ID. I say I haven’t been a student since 99′ and I signed up online for one class. She says Im supposed to know. I give her the C.C. I used to pay. I tell her the course number. She looks it up. “Oh, you’re in continuing education (I already had a degree, it’s a non credit course). She continues, “that’s not us. You want this cubicle over here (two behind her).” “But you are not registered for that class.” I walk in say hi, to the polite Asian girl in said cubicle, she finds me, I don’t need I.D., prints a sheet for me, I’m done.
I didn’t get a chance to talk to the first woman again because she was helping someone else. But, here are some things to say to use against stupid people who talk down to you.
1.So obviously problem solving skills aren’t a part of your job description. So why don’t you call over someone who is capable of doing that.
2. So I don’t have my I.D., do you think you’re smart enough to think of an alternative?
3. OOHHHH, so I don’t need my I.D. So why were you wasting my time telling me I do? Is it because you don’t want to work? Or giving people a hard time helps you feel smart.
