Rude Guy Thinks He Can Ignore Security, Regrets It After Wasting 5.5 Hours Instead Of 30 Seconds
In a perfect world, everyone would obey rules, be mindful of the dos and don’ts, and be nice and kind to one another. But unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world.
That’s why this redditor had to encounter a person who not only failed to comply with the rules of the industrial site the netizen was working in, but was a jerk about it, too. Unsurprisingly, that didn’t work well for the rule breaker, especially when the OP decided to get petty revenge on him.

Industrial sites are often the place where accidents happen
Rules are usually set for a reason, said reason often being people’s safety. And workplace rules are in no way an exception, especially when it comes to jobs where they can literally be a matter of life or death. Yet some people don’t care much for them, even if that means putting themselves, or others, in danger.
Working on an industrial site is undoubtedly a place where one would want to follow the rules and regulations set to keep the employees safe. Whether it’s going through a routine security check, wearing personal protective equipment, or taking other measures, failing to abide by the rules might lead to serious detrimental outcomes. According to Eurostat’s 2021 data, the highest share (close to a third) of non-fatal accidents at work in the EU took place on an industrial site.

Visitor management solutions can help people feel safer in their workplace
Be that as it may, it’s not only industrial sites that have to take security measures seriously, whether the latter guard the company’s physical assets or its safety online. A survey of IT and security professionals in the US, carried out in 2020 by Envoy and Wakefield Research, found that the main thing that security teams tend to focus on is data privacy protection; however, employee compliance and visitor management security are also on the list of their main focus points.
According to said survey, an overwhelming majority of survey respondents (98%) see the benefit of investing in visitor management solutions, which is seemingly linked to a stronger sense of workplace security. Such solutions allow companies to keep track of the people who enter their facilities, typically leaving a log of who visited the premises, when they did so, and what for. The survey found that four-in-five respondents have allocated at least some of their workplace security budget to visitor management solutions.
The industrial site the OP was working on seemingly had one such visitor management system in place, handling which was part of the redditor’s responsibilities. And even though checking whether or not a person is allowed to enter the premises took less than a minute, not every visitor had the patience for it; for one of the impatient ones, a 30-second wait turned into nearly an overnight stay.

This does not seem like a good way to deal with the situation at all! I'm surprised this person still had a job. He'd have been far better calling the police to report unauthorised entry/trespass, and allow them to deal with the situation. Instead he didn't respond to multiple calls on the emergency number. Neither individual came off well in this story.

Assuming it's even true, it would surprise me as well. Ignoring the line meant *for emergencies* because they were feeling petty is really something. I get it, I worked retail for years then healthcare. I am SO used to being screamed at. But I also know how to deescalate and what to do if I can't, so that other people aren't potentially being harmed by my unprofessionalism, oh and also so I don't get sued and/or fired for being an a*****e.

If this story is true (and I always wonder with these petty revenge stories) the security absolutely broke the law. I’m surprised he still has a job.

When I had a unit at a storage facility, the hours of access were clearly posted: 7am to 9pm. I had to get something from there, and the jerk who took me there literally waited until the last minute to do so. Guess what? We got locked in. We ended up calling the police, who had to inform the manager. She showed up to let us out, and she was understandably less pleased. That was the last time I went that late (AND with the jerk). There's a reason for rules, folks.
