I’ve only ever seen the one with the two girls and the cup.

God damn, that was a shitty ass series.

A series? I read the text synopsis of the pilot of "Two Girls, One Cup" and was more disgusted than when I saw the Blue Waffle. Kids, those are two things you DON'T want to Google!

I agree - A security guard should def be fired and B how the hell was she unable to contact the event organizers? I absolutely would have made a big fuss - assuming she didn’t - letting him know I’m the key lecturer. And I really don’t understand how she had no contact information - email addresses, phone numbers, even the name of someone tied to the event - to resolve the problem. Seriously how in the hell??? This is worse than having your big meeting canceled due to being 10 minutes late from failing a COVID temperature check.

How in the hell did she not have an ID on her?

I used to do a lot of event organizing, and while you are IDEALLY right, in practice it's not so simple. Security is trusted to keep things safe, and everyone has their jobs. The organizer themselves has a million things to deal with, a lot of which are unexpected problems. It's entirely possible OP didn't have contact info with them (it's a good practice to have it, but people often don't think of it because they shouldn't need it). Security guard wouldn't have let OP contact anyone, and there's no "let me speak to your manager" with security. Event organizer probably was dealing with their own stuff, and if there were other speakers as well might not have noticed OP hadn't shown up- or thought they were running late. Yes, you should always have it set up so someone's job is literally keeping an eye on major things like speakers and making sure people are arriving, contacting them if they are late etc. But so many times you can't be careful like that because things are going wrong and it's all hands on deck to fix what *seems* like the biggest problem. If the audio system is failing, for example, an assistant who otherwise might have been on guest management might be on the phone desperately calling techs for help instead of noticing OP is missing. If OP has already been turned away and gone home, by the time theh organizer found out it would be too late. No info on how far away OP lives, if they were taking the train, etc- OP might have been unreachable or unable to return quickly by the time things were noticed.

Your comment is bad and you should feel bad! (insert Zoidberg meme here)

I'm guessing Max will get the Ax.
