Another from last Saturday

posted Saturday, 22 July 2006
A woman wanted to complain about Phil. She claimed she'd been in the bathroom for 15 minutes changing and doing her makeup for a job interview. She lives on the streets, so she had nowhere else to do it. Even though she'd told him what she was doing, he kept interrupting her and threatened to call the police. "For doing my makeup!!" No, twit, for spending ages in the bathroom.  I fobbed her off with the manager's card and an explanation that the bathroom is a big problem area for us, which is why he does that. 

A few minutes later, Phil came down and revealed that she's among the reasons he does that. Not only was she in there for half an hour, not 15 minutes, the last time she was in the library he'd let her in the bathroom and a few minutes later she let her boyfriend in there with her. He figures they were going to do drugs. I figure they were going to do something else and possibly drugs, too. So Phil even warned her that he was going to monitor her time, but she still yelled and swore at him when he did. And he did tell her he was going to call the police and she said something like "You're just doing that to scare me." When she finally came out she said something like "Now you look like a fool." Um, no...you once again look like someone who is incapable of using a public restroom like a civilized person.

And THEN about an hour later, Phil spotted her on the back lawn snorting something and approaching parked cars. Ah, so it was a job interview to be a drug addict and hooker, I see.
