I needed to drop off a paper at Social Security. There is no “drop-off” spot, so in order to do this you take a number and join about fifty other people who are also waiting for their number to be called.
I noticed when I entered that the security guard, who was a big beefy man was sitting behind a small desk using his I phone
The wait for my number continued and I had time to look around the area I was in. In my boredom, I counted the floor tiles and found there was approximately fifty feet between the desk of the guard and the first row of client’s chairs.
The guard never raised his eyes from his I phone and I realized he had fallen asleep holding his phone.
I wasn't about to wake him, but them he began to snore. And I mean Snore, just like you see in the cartoons. Big, HUGE, ZZZZ’s came from his mouth . It was so loud that a man in the first row even turned around to see where the noise was coming from.
He was braver than I, and walked over to the guard to see if he was OK, or if he was making a death rattle.
Just as he got to the desk, the guard woke up, and said to the man “what do you want?”
The man didn't speak English and the guard, in a not very nice way, repeated, “What do you want?”
The man looked toward me and I said, “I think he wanted to see if you were alright, because you were snoring so loudly, people were concerned.
The guard looked t me, and pretty much sneered, “Are you sure it was me?”
With that fifty folks in the social security waiting room all said “YES!” at the same time
