While working for a utility, Safety/Security implemented a no- shirt-tailing policy for access doors...meaning you shouldn't let someone in w/out their access badge.
I usually show up earliest in my dept., but one day, I was running a few minutes late, which put me on the same elevator as our Chief of Engineering, who usually shows up in the 3rd place in the morning.
I showed off my badge, but not knowing whether he get laid off in the middle of the night, I wouldn't key the elevator to the correct floor. Hey big boss man, you'd better set down your briefcase, lunch, and your tote bag if you want the elevator keyed. Or, I'll just take the next one.
It was such a classic watching the eyes roll as he set everything down to fish out his wallet.
Hey big boss man, policy is policy!
