An exchange that occurred minutes ago, when I went to the computer lab mistakenly expecting it to be open on Friday night during exams:
[Two Hopkins security officers and a janitor are standing at the door of the lab with the alarm going off. Thinking they are there to silence a false alarm, I start to walk in.]
SKINNY OFFICER [punching at keypad]: It's closed.
ROUND OFFICER [standing at the ready]: You can't go in.
Me: Oh, uh...
SKINNY OFFICER [still punching at keypad]: Were you going in there? You can't, it's closed.
Me: I--
ROUND OFFICER: It's closing now.
Me: What time--
SKINNY OFFICER: You can't go in there, it's closed.
Me: I didn't know it closed, sorry. What time--
ROUND OFFICER: It's closed for the night.
SKINNY OFFICER: You can't go in.
Me: Yes, but what time does it open in the morning?
SKINNY OFFICER: I don't know. [looks at ROUND OFFICER]
ROUND OFFICER: I don't know.
Janitor: It opens at 8 am.
Me: Thanks.
