An entitled old jerk tries to get me fired from my job after he stalks me around my job

0:05.2

and takes pictures of me using my phone while on the job.

0:08.5

And despite the fact that this was a work phone that I was using on the job,

0:12.2

this guy still was very convinced that I was goofing off and not doing what I needed to do.

0:16.8

And I'm honestly still blown away by this guy's creepy behavior.

0:20.1

Here's what happened. So for about a year now, I've worked at a storage facility. It's all outdoor floor level and it's a huge place with over 1,500 units. And yes, we have to use a golf cart just to get around. The tiny office out front has one-quartered phone. And since before I started here, they have had an office iPhone that we can forward calls to from the office phone so we can be anywhere on the property and take calls. The first thing they trained us on is don't leave the office without it. They also don't care at all if we have personal phones on and if we're using them. It can get really slow, so playing games and watching videos is perfectly okay. As long as we aren't doing it when people are in the office needing assistance, they really just don't care. So, this older guy comes in and he asked me if I'm new. We have a short chat, and he pays his bill a year in advance, so he hasn't really met me yet. So he pays, says he'll be in his unit all day arranging and pulling stuff, and honestly,

that's no problem. But it's also important to remember that today there was a big issue

1:15.5

getting worked on. Four units we have cleared out due to water damage need to be photographed and

1:20.2

expected, and the manager is doing manager stuff with insurance, and the handyman is there to fix

1:25.2

them. I just got the units moved out into another spot,

1:28.1

so today I'm driving around to the old units

1:30.5

and sending my manager the photos for insurance.

1:33.3

And I go ahead and I forward the calls.

1:35.4

I use the iPhone to take photos

1:37.0

so that they are on the work cloud account

1:39.0

and so she can access them immediately.

1:41.1

At the first unit, I call her on my personal cell phone

1:43.6

to make sure the photos are

1:44.9

good and see if she needs anything else and to see if she's happy with any of the things that

1:48.9

she's looking through. Once I was done, I hang up and I turn around to walk back to the golf cart,

1:53.5

and this old man is literally standing directly behind me with this weird smile on his face

1:58.3

as if he caught me doing something I shouldn't. He even had
