Comment My Campus Cowboy story (Score 1) 331
I managed the computers for a Canadian university dept., including the development and operation of a system that collected $4M a year from students for the board portion of their room and board.
Cash pickups were done by Campus Cowboys.
One day, after they had left, I noticed a tennis-ball-can sized container of pepper spray had been left behind. At this time (about 20 years ago) the police and security agencies were not yet in full Gestapo mode, so it was a bit of a surprise. Or at least how big the can was was.
Called up their HQ and asked them "Do you guys use pepper spray?"
A mixture of stammering and silence followed.
After a while I said "Well, you guys left your pepper spray behind at [our location]"
They were unusually prompt in their arrival a few minutes later.
