I'm a security guard.

[sleepypancakes]

I thought this would get more of a rise out of everyone, but I'm surprised to see that some others have worked security.  I don't see it as joining the dark side at all.  It's a good job to get as a student, especially if you are looking into getting into other law enforcement work.  It would be ideal to live in a world where you could skate everywhere, but I can see why some companies and businesses don't want you skating on their property.  It annoys pedestrians, it destroys ledges and makes them look like shit, it makes a lot of noise, etc.  Not all of us are fat wannabe cops looking for a confrontation.  When it comes to kicking kids off the property for skateboarding, that's not really an issue for me, because that's my job at that moment in time.

leftover crack is the worst band in the world

[BlueBlurSpeedsBy]

That's ridiculous.  Tell  me you're not one of those guys who carves the anarchy sign into there arm, and listens to the casualties.  I'm out here breaking stereotypes.  Police are necessary, and many of them are out there serving the community, and keeping the streets safe.  It's a thankless job with many risks...and I'm sure deep inside all of you can at least respect that.  

PS:  Leftover crack is horrible.  Try the clash.

[commie]

Being a security guard seems like the most boring job possible. Most of the time those dudes just sit in some office building at 5 in the morning when there's nothing going on. Every once in a while they will get up and kick you out of a spot.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dude, you might wanna just focus now and start over.  You're only a few posts in, so it won't matter.

The Clash though..... are they a local band to you?  I am all about recommendations.  Tell me more about them.  Do they have any good songs I might have heard before?

[anblue]

hopefully you make a cameo in the next baker video, i assume an appearance in one of those videos is like making it big time in the security guard world

[HATE!]

How hard did you rub one out to this movie?

Observe and Report - Danny McBride Gang Scene (HD)

Like on a scale of 1-10.  1 being you jerked it out of habit, 10 being you came so hard balls exploded.

Eh thought the lyrics fit  what can I say? Everyone has their shitty music phase. And no I'm not an anarchist, I do have some sense.

I may have been in the military, but that doesn't change the fact that you came on here and dropped this little gem:

"As for awesome pants, I saw some Joe Fresh ladies "boyfriend cut" chinos on a clearance rack at the grocery store.  Perfect slim fit, yet stretchy, nice dark tan shade.. I'm so bummed there was only one pair left."

YOU ACTUALLY SAID THAT.  What are you getting at Forever 21?  I heard they are having a sale on leggings.
 

[carbonite]

Are you a cop?  You know you have to tell us if you are.  It's a law.  Or it's in the movies, or something.  Ah fuck it, I can't remember. 

I think the official policy is this: if you're an undercover law enforcement officer, and a drug dealer politely asks you to, say, shoot some heroin, you can't do it, unless you're way way undercover

Is way way undercover more, or less than DEEP cover?

I stand behind my choice of pants.  I also stand behind my opinion that hating cops is stupid.  Especially if you practically were one.

Never said that, now did I?  Thanks for trying though.  Enjoy your pants.

Guilty as well. I was a security guard in the UC Berkeley library. It was the best job ever though. Didn't have to wear a uniform, sat at a desk and checked ids, gave directions and walked around every now and then. Pretty much just did school work most of the day. Downside was that there are a few spots at the library. I told my boss during the interview that I would have difficulty kicking out skateboarders and he actually appreciated my honesty and told me I would never have to. Whenever we saw skaters, which was rare (plenty of better spots on campus), we would only say something if a library employee complained. It only came up one time and there was another security guard next to me and I just told her she would have to handle it. So yeah, I was sort of a traitor.

At one point in time, I and some friends were skating outside of that very building. We were kicked out by pretty lady, who I happened to flirt it up with. Perhaps your depicted tale and my skate venture that day are one in the same.

but I can see why some companies and businesses don't want you skating on their property.  It annoys pedestrians, it destroys ledges and makes them look like shit, it makes a lot of noise, etc.

I wonder what the difference is between illegal night filming sessions on private property vs. breaking into Berrics one night for a video part. Doesn't the fact that "TFs" are under lock and key mean that they're effectively skatestopped? Wouldn't Berra and Koston be considered, in a sense, archetypal dickhead security guards?

probation and a ticket - one is a crime (worse if someone is sleeping inside) the other is a civil infraction,

That's ridiculous. ? Tell ? me you're not one of those guys who carves the anarchy sign into there arm, and listens to the casualties. ? I'm out here breaking stereotypes. ? Police are necessary, and many of them are out there serving the community, and keeping the streets safe. ? It's a thankless job with many risks...and I'm sure deep inside all of you can at least respect that. ?

I don't remember any scene in Lethal Weapon or Die Hard when they busted skateboarders for being a nuisance.  Just what kind of fucking cop are you?

Somebody kill that guy before he becomes a cop

All joking aside.  Please leave the internet.

[Facehead]

wow did you ever kick yourself out of skate spots?

No. I never even met people. I usually just drove around at night making sure that different corporations had locked the doors on their buildings, turned on their alarm and shit.

The security company I was working for asked me one once if I would be interested in working at a mall, yes, as a fucking mall cop. My immediate response was "no way".

Dude, one more try to get the joke. Come on dude, one last try ... ONE LAST FUCKING TRY BRO!

Isn't admitting to being a security guard kind of just admitting to being a failure in life? I don't think i've ever heard a kid say they want to be a security guard when they grow up. I don't hate security, I pity them as the pathetic losers they are.  No real animosity, as you don't really have any authority. I find fucking with security's ego hillarious and am thankful for the opportunity to do that from my own home.

Also, did you seriously say that you hope it leads to law enforcement jobs and that you aren't a wannabe cop in the same post? Hillarious. By the way retard, The Police academy leads to a job as a cop, not being a night watchman.

I just interviewed to be an Airport Services Officer. I suppose I'm worse of a failure than the original poster since that would make me a wannabe guard (and probably not qualified at that), but it pays about the same as a high school teacher or regular cop.

The funny thing is that I don't have the slightest respect for authority or law enforcement. It's just that the airport security industry is growing while the relevance of my university education is shrinking.

You said you want to want to teach university in the future.. does that mean you're a "wannabe professor"?  If one of your lesser fortunate, lesser gifted students had to take a security job to survive, would you try to degrade them too?  You realize not all security/cops are dicks, but bored antagonists like yourself bring out their bad sides?

...and I skate.  Deal with it.

When do people ever interact with police officers in an environment where their arrival indicates that something positive is going to happen? 

...people hate cops. Deal with it.

usually when people take a job strictly to survive, they try to hide it instead of... ya know, posting on a public forum to tell as many people as possible.

You learn a lot from a security job that applies to police work.  Dealing with bums and crackheads, or stuck up punks such as yourself who like to give us a hard time.  Learning 10 codes on the radio...etc.  Tons of good experience.  I'm also going to college for law and security while I work, and many close family members of mine are police officers...so eat a dick.  I'm done with this thread, I had my fun.
