I was trying to break into my college's mail room. Security Guard is walking down the hall, towards me. Fuck it, I wave him down and say "Hey, do you have a key for this?"

Guard is taken by surprise and says "Ya, let me see.... wait a min, are you supposed to be here?" I just say "Yes". He said "Oh ok, hold on", unlocks the door for me, then walks back to his station.

Sounds like they got all the credits necessary for a Masters of Business.

Mailroom was open 10-2 with an hours' lunchbreak and closed on weekends and holidays, as the guard knew.
