While tending the registration booth yesterday, me and other helpers encountered some really sad excuses/reasons and malarkey that people gave us in order to get in at reduced or free entry into the event. Here are my favs (paraphrased for clarity):
- I was chapter president X number of years ago.
- I spoke to <insert board member name> yesterday and he said I could bring myself and these 4 other people in my car and get in for free.
- Do you take debit?
- Can you break a $100? (this happened twice)
- I work here at the stadium, I need to get to my office. (this happened twice)
- I'm just here to pickup my wife.
- I'm just here to pickup my dad.
- What's here to do for $10 bucks? This is robbery.
- Do you take credit?
- I just came to watch not participate.
I had no idea that registration was going to be this exciting. Can't wait until next year....
Anyone else encounter any creative excuses to get in??
