Do Not Copy
When the secretary of a state agency tried exerting her superiority, Reddit user Arcangelathanos put her in her place. He didn’t shout or get physical with her, but he did slap her with a subpoena to get her to cooperate.
“Some secretary of some branch of a state agency would go on a power trip and stamp, “Do not copy” on things that she sent to local agencies.
Well, I work for an oversight agency and I needed a copy. Locals were terrified so I rolled my eyes and called to explain that the locals and I were basically the same entity.
Woman started to have a conniption fit, but she got real quiet when I cut her off and said, “Fine, I’ll issue a subpoena. What’s your name and job title?” She answered, and the sheriff served her a subpoena for what I wanted. Guess she wasn’t used to that.”
