What's the most outrageous elite snob you've had to deal with?

I volunteered at a local library for four years. Most of the time it was an amazing job,

and I'm thinking of going to library school after college. But I do remember one lady who came to

the front desk contesting a $1.20 fine, six books that she hadn't turned in yet. The situation escalated until she was

yelling so loudly that a kid in the picture book section started crying. And she just kept

saying, my husband is a respected plastic surgeon, and, you can't treat me like this. And

it's the principle of the thing. She had a several hundred dollar purse, designer sunglasses

and all that jazz.

She clearly could afford to pay us, but she wouldn't. The situation didn't get resolved that day,

and they still hadn't turned in the books. My manager, who had taken a lot of flack from this lady,

like a pro, checked up on their account over the next few months. The fines kept building,

after the initial

grace period, it's 20 cents per book per day, and we called them multiple times asking for the books

back, and eventually we ended up sending someone after the plastic surgeon's wife because she owed

the library over $600. Sure, maybe we could have just discontinued her account and banned her from the

library, but it was the principle of the thing.

As a fire and EMT, we were called out to a house in a gated community for a person with chest pain and throwing up and a history of heart issues.

We get in there in our boots and heavy gear, and the lady who met us at the door wouldn't let us in

until we took off our, quote, dirty clothes. They weren't dirty because they'd just gotten back

from the station wash, but they were still stained from the God knows how many fires we'd fought

that year. So, Grandpa is presenting with Type 1 heart block in the back, with fading vitals, and we're

sitting up front taking off our damn boots
