Things like this play out everyday.

listen to Honeykiss! this is 1000% true!
i am an admissions coordinator at a college which entails being admin assistant/mini-hr coordinator/mailroom attendant/unofficial spy. every call that comes into this building comes thru me. my office is 2 feet from the directors.
I. KNOW. EVERYTHING!!!! (and pretend to know nothing!) who is suspended and why, who is here for an interview (and dont get nasty because when you leave i will give a full report on how you treated me!), who was fired, everything...plenty of people have not gotten jobs because of their rudeness towards me. and a select few people who treat me like the front office goddess that i am, get the classes they want, the parking they want, and even the scholarships they want. i dont just answer the phone buddy, i run this department!
which just reinforces the above...
BE NICE TO EVERYONE!!!
